Of all the locknuts we provide, this one has the strongest hold. Even when there is a lot of vibration, the tab on the insert prevents the nut from turning. These locknuts are perfect for machinery like compactors, shakers, and conveyors that move constantly or have abrupt starts and pauses. They are actually used to secure parts of roller coasters since they are so safe. Although these locknuts can be reused, you should use a new nut for the strongest grip because they lose some of their holding power after the first use.
The majority of machinery and equipment can be fastened with these Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation.
