Self-locking nuts enhance fastening reliability by incorporating locking features directly into their design. This eliminates the need for secondary locking methods.
Nylon insert lock nuts are widely used due to their ease of installation and effective vibration resistance. However, they are limited by temperature constraints.
All-metal lock nuts overcome these limitations by using thread deformation. They remain stable in harsh operating environments.
Prevailing torque nuts are engineered to resist rotation throughout the installation process, providing consistent locking performance.
Top lock nuts apply locking force at the top threads, while side lock nuts use lateral deformation. Both designs offer excellent resistance to loosening.
Distorted thread nuts provide a long-lasting mechanical locking solution for demanding applications.
