Nylon Insert Lock Nut Specifications

Lock nuts do not readily loosen when placed on bolts.

Nylon insert lock nut specifications. They are referred to as prevailing torque nuts or stiff nuts. The rings are normally cut from sheets using dies which makes their dimensions very consistent. The nylon filling is machine threaded and acts as a lock to ensure that the fastening is secure. Performs well at temperatures up to 250 f.

This specification defines performance requirements and mechanical properties for these types of nuts at room temperature. Special thread configuration 004 maximum perpendicularity. About 25 stronger than medium strength steel locknuts these nuts are made of high strength class 10 steel. Nylon insert locknuts class 10 a nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration wear and temperature swings.

Bearing retainer nylon insert lock nut applications. Cylinders bearing face retainers pinion shafts. The usage of these nuts makes sure that the structural damage to the body is minimum despite repeated assembly and disassembly. From 3 4 thru 2 1 2 id m12 thru m68 sizes along with specials manufactured to your blueprints.

Excellent for bearing applications where space is limited. Nylon insert locknuts product catalog wyandotte industries has been manufacturing special nuts and fasteners since 1959. Nylock nuts from ita fasteners have a nylon filled center which prevents the components from loosening. There is no risk of galling or seizure during assembly the locking element is usually made of nylon specifically 66 nylon or zytel 101.

Self locking nuts have a thread locking system that resists the screw reverse turning or backing off. The dimensional consistency is reflected in prevailing torque consistency. Nylon insert locknuts class 10 a nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration wear and temperature swings. About 25 stronger than medium strength steel locknuts these nuts are made of high strength class 10 steel.

Perhaps the most unique aspect is the external threads required finish which is zinc phosphate and oil according to grade d of astm f1137. Inch series nylon insert lock nuts are produced in accordance with asme b18 16 6. Nylon insert lock nut also called non metallic insert lock nuts or nyloc nuts manufacturers have historically used the strength designation of grade a b and c established by the industrial fastener institutes standard ifi 100 107 to designate the three different strength levels that these nuts can be manufactured to. Asme b18 16 6 also defines the geometry and finish required on the external threads used for nut performance testing.

Hexagon locking nuts with a nylon locking ring inserted. Lock nuts may also be used as jam nuts threaded over another nut to keep it in place.
