Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors


Fasteners and tools from BMG

August 2016 Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors

BMG’s extensive range of fasteners, tools and related equipment is used to enhance reliability of equipment in diverse sectors, including light, medium and heavy industries, pulp and paper, construction, original equipment manufacturers and agriculture.

Some of these products include Nord-Lock wedge locking washers, which when tested according to DIN 25201-4:2010-01, have a remaining joint clamp load of more than 80% after 2 000 cycles. Nord-Lock washers are available in standard, over-size and X-Series for softer materials or flexible joints, as well as stainless steel to combat corrosion.

Advantages of this re-usable system include maximum safety when locking fasteners, easy assembly and disassembly, positive locking at low or high preload levels and minimum surface marring or scratching. This system, which has the same temperature characteristics as a standard bolt or nut, resists loosening caused by vibration and dynamic loads. The locking function is not lost by lubrication.

For a permanent, guaranteed clamp application, BMG recommends Huck structural rivets and lock bolt solutions and for extreme temperatures and challenging environments, the Thome and Schwind range of specialised fasteners is recommended.

For high strength challenges, the Nord-Lock Superbolt multi-jackbolt tensioner system, with advanced bolting technology, only requires simple mechanical torque tools for installation, eliminating the need for high strength hydraulic torque tools.

To achieve the optimum clamp, BMG offers Gedore mechanical torque hand tools, as well as Atlas Copco and Ingersoll Rand pneumatic and electronic assembly tools, using clutch and transducer technology, to measure and control tightening torque. It is also possible to record all joint tightening procedures performed to ensure optimum clamp in safety and quality critical applications.

Other products include hand and power tools, tool kits, personal protective equipment, locks and lockouts, lifting equipment and environmental products. The range also encompasses measuring and testing equipment, welding and abrasives, as well as cutting and workshop equipment.
