Würth/Service Supply Announces TineLok™ System Availability TineLok™ expected to revolutionize fastener industry INDIANAPOLIS ─ September 21, 2005 ─ Würth/Service Supply, today announced the immediate availability of the TineLok™ Fastening System. This unique product prevents the loss of clamp load in applications where vibration is present. Würth/Service Supply further indicated that extensive testing conclusively proved that compared to other standard vibration resistant fasteners on the market today, TineLok™ scored far above all of the other widely used systems relative to maintaining clamp load in severe Junker vibration tests. How It Works The proprietary multi-patented bolt design is engineered with longitudinal channels along the thread. The TineLok™ nut incorporates three tines that engage the bolt thread and prevents rotation of the nut and loosening caused by vibration. The bolt design permits the multi-tined nut to lock into the bolt threads assuring a secure joint and maintenance of clamp load. This innovative fastener provides positive vibration resistance and requires no special tool for installation.
