Overview: Nord Lock M6 for RC

The Nord Lock style M6 washer from O.S. Engine OS55500005 offers a vibration-resistant locking method for M6 fasteners in RC models. It is suitable for use on engine mounts, motor fixings and gearbox attachments where repeated vibration might otherwise loosen fasteners.

To fit, position the washer pair on a clean, flat mating surface with the wedge faces opposing, then fit and tighten the M6 screw or nut. The wedge-lock action converts small rotational movement into maintained clamp force under vibration; proper seating and matched orientation of the pair are important for consistent results. Do not use on damaged threads or uneven contact points.

During setup and maintenance the washer is a preventative aid rather than an adjustment device: employ it where recurring loosening affects performance, such as motor brackets or gearbox mounts. It complements correct torque practice and full thread engagement to reduce the need for repeated checks between sessions.

What torque considerations apply when using these washers?

Start with the manufacturer's recommended fastener torque for the joint and verify seating after initial runs; the washer holds clamp load under vibration but correct initial torque is still required.

How often should I recheck fasteners fitted with these washers?

Check fasteners after the first few sessions to confirm stability, then follow your normal maintenance schedule. The washer reduces re-torquing frequency but does not eliminate the need for periodic inspection.

Are these washers appropriate for gearbox mountings?

Yes. They are well suited to gearbox fixings and similar high-vibration joints, provided surfaces are flat and the matched washer pair is used correctly.
