On this page we explain some examples of innovative fasteners from the Fabory range.
Nord-Lock
Nord-Lock offers innovative fasteners like the SUPERBOLT Load-Sensing Tensioner (LST) and the SUPERBOLT Load-Sensing Flexnut (LSF), enriching the Fabory range. Both systems are available from M36 to M100 and measure bias in installations. The data can be monitored remotely or on-site with an accuracy of about 95%. This monitoring method is considered an innovation in industries such as petrochemistry and energy, particularly in the case of large-diameter bolts or nuts requiring pretension. Here are some advantages of LST and LSF:
- There is no need for construction changes, including geometry and bolt or connection design
- Accurate monitoring/reading of pretension without adjusting the connection, even remotely
- Suitable for retrofit/upgrade
- Robust and reliable, class IP67
- There are no high costs for labour, extra measuring equipment, and periodic preventive maintenance.

The Spiralock nut from Stanley Engineered Fastening is designed for connections that experience heavy vibrations, such as in goods transport, conveyor belts, agriculture, and machine construction.
The unique feature of the Spiralock concept is that the nut has a self-locking internal thread with a 30-degree wedge, eliminating the need for additional locking mechanisms in the connection.
Dorset used Spiralock self-locking nuts because they need heat-resistant lock nuts when working with the Dorset Green Machine in fire-hazard environments. The nuts are easy to disassemble or assemble over time. Dorset, located in Aalten, develops and produces a range of solutions, from RFID electronics to industrial drying installations. When assembling the Dorset Green Machines, the fitters use Spiralock self-locking A4 stainless steel nuts.
Niek ter Horst, the cooperating foreman at Dorset, explained, "We used to use other stainless steel lock nuts for this application. They damaged the bolt's thread and could no longer be dismantled. Jamming of bolts and nuts should be avoided as much as possible. The Spiralock nut offers a particularly good solution for this."
The most unique features of the Spiralock nut include:
- A self-locking female thread
- Freewheeling up to the point of preload
- Even thread load
- Can be used with standard bolts
- Reusable, with 100 per cent guaranteed
Fabory supplies the Spiralock nuts in sizes M6 to M16 from stock. The nuts are available as flange nuts in galvanised steel (strength class 10) and stainless steel A4. For more details, view the full Spiralock range.
Šrouby a svorníky
Nikdo nechce, aby se na konci řetězce našly v potravinách šrouby nebo vruty. Zároveň je náročné upevnit spojovací prvky v panelech a dveřích, které se pravidelně otevírají a zavírají. Otevírání a zavírání musí být plynulé, a přesto musí šrouby a svorníky zůstat na svém místě.
Sortiment Fabory zahrnuje šrouby a šrouby s pevným uchycením, které jsou opatřeny speciální sponou. Společně se zákazníkem, který s tímto nápadem přišel, jsme vyvinuli toto inovativní řešení. Již nemusíte upravovat konstrukci zadní strany panelu. Společnost Fabory bude od poloviny roku 2022 dodávat kaptivní upevňovací prvky ze skladových zásob.
