High-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Grade 8



A nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. These nuts are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Grade 8 steel, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.
Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be painted or finished.
Black-oxide steel locknuts have a dark surface color and are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.
Zinc yellow-chromate plated steel locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

Medium-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Grade 5

A nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. These locknuts are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. They are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment. A zinc plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

High-Strength Steel Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Locknuts

An irregularly shaped thread at the top of the nut grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. They thread on from the bottom of the nut, allowing more threads to engage the bolt before tightening for easier installation than center-lock distorted thread locknuts. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. They're not reusable. Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.
Steel locknuts without a finish are ready to be painted or finished.
Black-oxide locknuts are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments and blend in with dark surfaces.
Black-phosphate, zinc-plated, and zinc yellow-chromate-plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
Zinc-flake-coated locknuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated and zinc yellow-chromate plated locknuts.
Cadmium-plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments and have good lubricity, so they thread on smoothly.

Steel Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

Threads at the top of these locknuts 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 the threads. These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 steel locknuts.
Cadmium-plated steel locknuts are corrosion resistant in wet environments. The plating adds lubricity, so they thread on smoothly.

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.

Low-Strength Steel Serrated Flange Locknuts

Serrations grip the material surface instead of the threads for easy installation and mild vibration resistance. The flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. About half the strength of medium-strength steel flange locknuts, use them in light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Height includes the flange.
