Nylon Insert Hex Flange Lock Nuts are a type of fastener designed to prevent loosening due to vibration. These nuts feature a nylon insert that creates a prevailing torque, ensuring a secure fit on the bolt or screw. The flange design adds extra surface area for better load distribution and stability. They are commonly used in applications where vibration is a concern, such as automotive, industrial machinery, and aerospace equipment.
Nylon lock nuts are also known by various names including nyloc nuts, nylock nuts, elastic lock nuts, and stop nuts. The nylon insert provides a gas and moisture seal, making them ideal for environments where corrosion resistance is important. However, they should not be used in high-temperature conditions or with certain chemicals that could degrade the nylon material.
These nuts come in a variety of sizes, from M3 to M30, and are available in different materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel. They can be finished with options like zinc plating, black oxide, and passivation, depending on the application requirements.
The product is manufactured according to international standards such as DIN, ASTM, JIS, EN, ISO, and GB. It is suitable for both standard and customized orders, with lead times varying based on production demand. Stock items include hex nuts, heavy hex nuts, flange nuts, cage nuts, and cap nuts. Free samples are available for standard fasteners.
