About Selecting Shock Absorbers
To select the best shock absorber for your application, you need to find the energy capacity your application requires. Use this formula to calculate the energy capacity required to stop a horizontal-moving load. For example, if you have a 250-lb. load moving at 25 inches per second, your calculation is (250 lbs. ÷ 772) × 252 = 202.4 in.-lbs. energy capacity.
Note: Choose a shock absorber with a higher energy capacity than you calculated. Factors such as driving force or an inclined surface will increase the energy capacity required.
Energy Capacity (in.-lbs.) = (Weight, lbs./772) × Velocity2 (in. per second)
Medium-Strength Steel Hex Nuts—Grade 5
These nuts are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Black-oxide steel nuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Low-Strength Steel Hex Nuts
About half the strength of medium-strength steel nuts, these nuts are for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.
Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

High-Strength Steel Hex Nuts—Grade 8
These nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts.
Zinc yellow-chromate-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Zinc-flake-coated steel nuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated steel nuts. They're also known as ultra coat and armor coat nuts.
Black-oxide steel nuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. About half the strength of medium-strength steel thin nuts, use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Some of these screws meet ISO and DIN dimensional standards.
Nuts with fine and extra-fine thread spacing are less likely to loosen from vibration than nuts with coarse thread spacing.

Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. They're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment when used in conjunction with a standard hex nut.

High-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts—Grade 8
Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use in low-clearance applications or jam one against a standard hex nut to hold it in place. They're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel thin hex nuts.

Extreme-Strength Steel Extra-Wide Hex Nuts—Grade 2H
Also known as heavy hex nuts, these nuts are about 10% wider and taller than standard hex nuts and distribute the load over a large area. Grade 2H nuts are comparable in strength to Grade 9 bolts. They're about 20% stronger than high-strength steel nuts and are used in heavy machinery, such as earth-moving equipment.

High-Strength Steel Extra-Wide Thin Nylon-Insert Locknuts
About half the height and 10% wider than standard nylon-insert locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against an extra-wide hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, these locknuts are about three times stronger than low-strength steel extra-wide thin locknuts.
Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be welded, painted and finished.

Steel Thin Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration
About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top locknuts, use these in low-clearance applications or jam one against a hex nut to hold it in place. Threads at the top of the nut expand to grip the bolt on all sides for a stronger hold than distorted-thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 steel locknuts.
Plain steel locknuts are uncoated and ready for painting.

High-Strength Steel Threaded Rods
Comparable to Grade 8 steel, these threaded rods have a tensile strength of 150,000 psi, making them about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel rods.
