Medium-Strength Steel Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins—Grade 5


Secure these hex slotted nuts by inserting a cotter pin or safety wire through the slots and a drilled hole in your bolt for mild loosening resistance. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin is prone to shearing under prolonged stress. Height includes the slots. Cotter pins are not included. They're zinc plated to resist corrosion in wet environments.

Metric Medium-Strength Steel Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins—Class 8



Often referred to as castle nuts, secure these by inserting a cotter pin or safety wire through the slots and a drilled hole in your bolt for mild loosening resistance. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin is prone to shearing under prolonged stress. Height includes the slots. Cotter pins are not included.
Zinc-plated steel locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Steel locknuts are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust. They are weldable and can be painted or finished.

Stainless Steel Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins


These locknuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Also known as castle nuts, secure them by inserting a cotter pin or safety wire through the slots in the nut and a drilled hole in your bolt for mild loosening resistance. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin is prone to shearing under prolonged stress. Height includes the slots. Cotter pins are not included.
