Lock Nuts

Lock Nuts, locking Nuts or jam nuts come in various forms as shown below, and our inventory in this area includes prevailing torque nuts and all metal locking nuts. Traditionally a Lock Nut is a DIN 439 Half Nut which can be used in pairs to create a locking mechanism, but today we have many other options. Lock Nuts containing a nylon collar which deforms when a threaded fastener is inserted, causing a frictional locking action, are very popular. Referred to as nyloc nuts we have several variants in metric and imperial sizes. Also stocked are All Metal Locking Nuts where again a collared section, this time made of metal but slightly smaller in diameter to the rest of the nut, deforms as the nut is tightened. Where vibration to the bolted connection is likely to cause loosening, a lock nut is the simplest and most effective solution.

Fastener Material Key

A4	A4 Stainless Steel - Also known as grade 316 or 18/8/3. A higher corrosion resistant, marine grade of stainless steel.
BRASS	Brass - Offers an attractive, corrosion resistant finish.
BZP	Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Steel - Non-stainless standard steel grade offering a basic level of corrosion resistance.
BZP-10	Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Class 10 High Tensile Steel - A higher tensile non-stainless grade for nuts, with a basic level of corrosion resistance.
BZP-8	Bright Zinc Plated (BZP) Class 8 High Tensile Steel - The general purpose high tensile grade for nuts, offering a basic level of corrosion resistance.

Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket, often used in pairs in a nut locking arrangement. A popular nut type, with a more unusual Fine Thread Pitch for when more thread engagement is required. Must be used in conjunction with the appropriate Fine Thread Pitch bolts or screws.

image chamfer for Thin Nyloc Nuts with Fine Pitch (Type T) DIN 985

Thin Nyloc Nuts with Fine Pitch (Type T) DIN 985 in A2 Stainless Steel

These fine pitch metric nyloc nuts are manufactured to DIN 985 and are the low Type T. Nylocs are also known as prevailing torque or locking nuts. As they are tightened onto a bolt, the bolt will cut a thread into the nylon part, making it less likely to loosen. The fine pitch means that there are more threads per centimetre, giving more engagement and adjustability to the fixing. They need to be used in conjunction with the same pitch bolt. Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket. We recommend that anti-galling measures are taken on installation of stainless steel variants of these items.
