304 Stainless Steel Lock Nut

The production process of stainless steel nylon locking nuts is usually to first cold-forge the metal part, leaving an entrance for inserting the nylon washer, insert the nylon washer and then stamp it from the top. This nut is available in standard specifications and can be customized according to customer needs.

The main feature of stainless steel locking nuts is high vibration resistance and anti-loosening. It can be used in various mechanical and electrical products, especially in the fields of mining machinery, and its demand has increased dramatically because its anti-loosening performance is much higher than other anti-loosening devices.

The anti-loosening effect of stainless steel locking nuts mainly depends on the interaction force between the nut and the bolt meshing thread. In order to increase this force, the thread structure can be improved, the roughness of the nylon washer can be increased, or the thread surface can be treated.

Stainless steel locking nuts usually consist of two parts, each with staggered cams. Since the internal wedge-shaped design has a slope angle greater than the nut angle of the bolt, the combination is tightly bitten into a whole. When vibration occurs, the raised parts move against each other, generating lifting tension, thereby achieving a better anti-loosening effect.

The size specifications of stainless steel locking nuts are not restricted and can be matched with standard external threads, and no auxiliary locking elements such as spring washers, stop washers, etc. are required.
