This is the most common locking nut and has a nylon ring fabricated into its top. When threaded onto a bolt, the nylon ring conforms to the threads of the bolt. The interference fit generated between the bolt and nylon inserts locks the device into place.
For applications that require moderate strength, the nylon insert lock nut (Nylock Nut) represents one of the most common fastening solutions. It includes the following variants:
• Thin, Grade 2, Zinc-Plated
• Thin, Stainless Steel
• Grade 2, Zinc-Plated
• Grade 8, Yellow, Zinc-Plated
• Stainless Steel
• Heavy, Grade 2, Zinc-Plated
• Machine Screw, Stainless Steel
• Machine Screw, Grade 2, Zinc-Plated
For applications that require superior strength, Grade C lock nuts provide a solid solution — with the ability to withstand temperatures of under 300° F for extended durations and without degradation.
