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. They're used in valves, pumps, suspension systems, and other high-stress parts. A zinc plating prevents rust in wet areas. Combine with Class 10.9 metric bolts, which have similar strength. All are reusable but lose holding power after each use.

These locknuts meet ISO 7040 and ISO 7041-2 (formerly DIN 985 and DIN 982), which are international standards for dimensions. The ISO standards are functionally equivalent to the DIN standards with slight differences in width, height, or tolerances.

Made from medium-strength steel with a nylon insert, these Class 8 metric locknuts are strong enough to use on most machinery and equipment that’s prone to vibration and temperature changes. The nylon insert also won’t damage the threads on your bolt. All are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Pair them with compatible Class 8.8 metric bolts.

These locknuts meet the dimensional and material standards of DIN and ISO that make sure they're compatible with other parts and tools. Although DIN 982 and 985 are no longer active standards, they’re still a common reference point for designers. With only slight differences in tolerance, the ISO 7041-2 standard has replaced the inactive DIN 982 standard. The ISO 7040 standard is similar to the inactive DIN 985 standard, except the overall height is a little taller.

Zinc-plated steel locknuts are a good option in dry environments. The zinc plating prevents the steel from corroding until the plating wears away.

Black ultra-corrosion-resistant coated steel locknuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated steel locknuts. They're also known as black luster locknuts.
