Lock Nuts

Lock nuts, also known as prevailing torque nuts, feature a unique design to resist loosening due to vibration or torque. They incorporate a specialized locking mechanism, such as nylon inserts, flanged collars, or deformed threads, which provide additional friction and grip when tightened. Lock nuts are widely used in automotive, aerospace, and machinery industries, where reliable and secure fastening is critical. They are commonly applied in high-vibration environments or where frequent assembly and disassembly occur. Lock nuts ensure that fasteners remain tightly secured, reducing the risk of accidents and equipment damage. Their effectiveness in preventing loosening makes them indispensable in various fastening applications.
