Enduralock Introduces Radial Lock Fastener to Oil & Gas Industry

Enduralock, a custom fastener engineering solutions company based in Lenexa, Kan., that develops proprietary vibration resistant fasteners, recently announced the selection of its technology by Superior Energy Services in Houston, TX.

"We have collaborated with Superior Energy Services to develop an integrated solution aimed to address a critical need in the oil & gas industry," said Harold Hess, CEO and co-founder, Enduralock. "Enduralock aims to create custom solutions for critical applications in the oil & gas, aerospace, and defense industries. By utilizing our proprietary locking technology, we can individually address the needs and wants of our customers."

Enduralock offers multiple fastener designs, all intended for use in high vibration environments across numerous industries. All Enduralock fasteners are permanently locking, highly vibration-resistant, fully reversible and reusable, and may be reapplied using a blind approach. Enduralock fasteners ensure ease of installation, reversibility, and reusability with standard sockets, and they provide for reduced time and cost of installation and maintenance. The National Aerospace Standard 1312-7 requires a self-locking nut to withstand 30,000 cycles of vibration. Enduralock's fasteners have withstood 300,000 cycles (10x the industry standard) without loosening. In recent customer specified vibration testing, Enduralock's fasteners survived 1 million cycles of vibration.
