Compared to standard-profile locknuts, these are about 10% taller and broader, allowing them to distribute heavier loads over a greater surface area. Without causing thread damage, the nylon insert holds the screw in place and keeps it from loosening under mild vibration. However, exposure to high temperatures may cause the insert to become brittle. Although these locknuts can be reused a few times, their holding capacity diminishes with each usage.
These locknuts, which are rated Class 10, Grade 8, or C, are around 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation.
These rust-resistant locknuts are ideal for outdoor and damp settings.
These locknuts are almost half as robust as medium-strength steel nuts and are rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower. In order to prevent thread stripping during installation, use them with screws that have a comparable strength grade.
