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)

Metric Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Half as thick as regular hex nuts, these nuts fit into spaces with low height clearances. They are about half as strong as medium-strength steel, and are often used for light duty applications, such as securing access panels. Also known as jam nuts, they can be threaded together to form a locknut that won’t move or loosen due to vibration. When fastening threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone.
Steel nuts are best for dry environments, since exposure to moisture and chemicals will cause them to rust.
Nuts that meet DIN 936 adhere to international standards for dimensions and material composition to ensure compatibility with other products and tools. Although the DIN 936 standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.

Metric Fine-Thread Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
These nuts are half the height of standard hex nuts, and have closely spaced threads to prevent loosening from vibration. They are not compatible with coarse threads. Half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts, they are often used for light-duty applications, such as fastening signs in place.
Also known as jam nuts, they can be used in place of standard nuts when height clearances are tight, or threaded together to form a locknut. When fastening threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod into place with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone.

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.
Nuts that meet ISO 4035 (formerly DIN 439B) adhere to international standards for dimensions and material composition to ensure compatibility with other products and tools. Although the DIN 439B standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.

Left-Hand Threaded Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts
These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. Also known as jam nuts, they 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.
Black-oxide steel nuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments. They also meet DIN dimensional standards.

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Useful in low-clearance applications, these metric nuts are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, but aren’t as strong. Commonly used as locknuts, threading a thin nut against any other hex nut prevents loosening caused by vibration. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading two of these thin nuts against each other on a threaded rod to create a gripping point for turning the rod without damaging its threads. All are 18-8 stainless steel, which is nearly as strong as steel but won’t rust in outdoor, washdown, and other corrosive environments.
DIN 936 nuts are sometimes taller and wider than ISO 4035 nuts. Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

Left-Hand Threaded 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts
These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. They have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Also known as jam nuts, they 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.

Metric Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts
These metric nuts are made of 316 stainless steel and half as tall as regular hex nuts—use them around chemicals and salt water when space is limited. Also known as jam nuts, they can be tightened in pairs to prevent loosening from vibration. Jamming two of these nuts together can also create a gripping point on a threaded rod, letting you use a wrench to turn the rod without damaging the threads.
Nuts with fine and extra-fine threads are less likely to loosen from vibration than those with coarse threads. Fine and extra-fine threads aren’t compatible with coarse threads.
ISO 4035 (formerly DIN 439B) nuts are chamfered, so their edges are less sharp than DIN 936 nuts. This new ISO standard is functionally the same as the DIN standard it replaced, with slightly different tolerances for width.

Left-Hand Threaded Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts
Made of 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance—including in salt water—these nuts tighten to the left and won’t loosen from counterclockwise motion. For use in low-clearance areas, they’re half the height of standard hex nuts. They can also be jammed against another nut to hold it in place. When used with a standard hex nut, they’re good for fastening most equipment.
Nuts that meet DIN 439B comply with international dimensional and material standards. Although no longer active, this standard is often referenced for compatibility.

Left-Hand Threaded Brass Thin Hex Nuts
These nuts tighten to the left and won’t loosen from counterclockwise motion. Made from brass, they resist corrosion, conduct electricity, and are nonmagnetic. They’re half the height of standard hex nuts, so they’re good for use in low-clearance areas. Jam them against another nut to hold them in place. When used with a standard hex nut, they’re suitable for fastening most equipment.
