These fit in places with limited clearance and can support bigger loads by spreading them over a wider area. They are about 10% wider and half as tall as standard-profile locknuts. By threading them up against a hex nut to secure it, you can also use them as jam nuts. 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.
