Lock Nuts

Lock nuts are specialized fasteners designed to prevent unintentional loosening in vibrating or high-stress environments. Featuring a prevailing torque mechanism, these nuts resist self-loosening by exerting consistent pressure on the threads of a mating bolt. Common types include nylon-insert lock nuts, which have a nylon collar for friction, and metal prevailing torque lock nuts with deformed threads. The design ensures stability and reliability in applications where traditional nuts may succumb to vibrations or dynamic forces. Lock nuts find use in automotive, aerospace, and machinery industries, enhancing the overall safety and durability of threaded connections.
