DIN985 Flanged Insert Nylon Self Locking Hex Nut

Nylon inserted hex lock nuts, also known as nylock nuts or nylon lock nuts, are hex nuts with a nylon insert at the top. This nylon insert provides several advantages and specific uses:Self-locking feature: The nylon insert creates friction against the mating threads when the nut is tightened. This self-locking feature helps prevent the nut from loosening due to vibrations or external forces. The nylon insert acts as a locking mechanism that helps maintain a secure and stable fastening.Reusable: Nylon inserted hex lock nuts can be removed and reinstalled multiple times without losing their locking ability. The nylon insert retains its locking properties, making these nuts suitable for applications requiring periodic disassembly and reassembly.Vibration resistance: The locking action of the nylon insert helps resist loosening caused by vibrations, making these nuts ideal for applications where vibration is common, such as machinery, equipment, and automotive components.Easy installation: Nylon inserted hex lock nuts can be easily installed with standard tools, similar to regular hex nuts. The nylon insert ensures a secure and reliable fastening without the need for additional lock washers or adhesives.Corrosion resistance: Some nylon inserted hex lock nuts are made from materials that provide additional corrosion resistance, such as stainless steel or zinc-plated steel. This makes them suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments where protection against rust or moisture is crucial.Widely used: Nylon inserted hex lock nuts are commonly used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, and construction, where ensuring a secure and reliable fastening is essential.Overall, nylon inserted hex lock nuts provide a self-locking feature that helps prevent loosening due to vibrations or external forces. They are reusable, easy to install, and commonly used in applications where consistent and secure fastening is required.
