Lock Nuts

A lock nut is a nut that will resist loosening under vibration and torque. There are many types of lock nut but they can be broadly divided into those which use friction to prevent loosening and those that have some form of positive locking device.

Application : If one or more of the connected objects vibrates, for example, those vibrations may knock the nut loose. Some nuts, however, are designed to protect vibration-related loosening. Known as lock nuts, they are frequently used in applications where one or more of the joined objects produces vibrations.

Types :

• Castellated nut
• Distorted thread locknut. Center Lock nut
• Interfering thread nut. Tapered thread nut
• Jam nut
• Jet nut (K-nut)
• Keps nut (K-nut or washer nut) with a free-spinning washer
• Plate nuts
• Polymer insert nut (Nyloc nut)

Specification : The applications can vary from oil and gas industry, marine applications, general corrosive services and in other applications as well. The Lock and Wheel Nut can be used in aircraft engines, high vibration systems such as motors and engines and others. The piping flanges also use the Flange Lock Nut types to lock the nuts onto the bolt threads to fit the flanges in place.
