    Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration
    3D CAD models available

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Locknuts. Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration.
    The most secure hold of all the locknuts we offer. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. You can even reuse them once or twice, but their holding power decreases with each use.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Steel—These locknuts are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.

    Thin-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration
    3D CAD models available

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Locknuts. Thin-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration.
    About two-thirds the height of standard steel-insert locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance and offer the most secure hold of all our thin-profile locknuts. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. You can even reuse them once or twice, but their holding power decreases with each use.
    High-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

    Heavy-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration
    3D CAD models available

    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Locknuts. Heavy-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration.
    Nearly 10% wider and taller than standard steel-insert locknuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. They also have the most secure hold of all the heavy-profile locknuts we offer. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. You can even reuse them once or twice, but their holding power decreases with each use.
    High-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
    Steel—These locknuts are best for dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
