Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the 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 steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

Black-Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—These nuts combine a finished appearance with the rust resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance, to hold up in wet and outdoor environments. Also known as black luster.

Serrated Flange Nuts

Serrations bite into material for mild vibration resistance while the flange eliminates the need for a separate washer. These nuts are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. You can use them again and again without sacrificing strength. However, the serrations may mar the surface of your material. Also known as collar nuts.

Nylon-Insert Flange Nuts

A nylon insert grips the screw for a stronger hold than a serrated flange, without damaging threads or marring the surface of your material. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These nuts have a flange that distributes pressure evenly across the mounting surface, so you don't need a separate washer. They are ideal for securing screws in oversized or irregularly shaped holes since the flange covers a larger area than standard nuts. You can reuse them a handful of times, but their holding power will decrease with each use. Also known as collar nuts.

Locknuts with Spring-Lock Washer

The curved, spring-like washer grips surfaces more tightly than tooth-lock washers for better vibration resistance. These locknuts also install just as quickly since you can twist them into place by hand. Once the nut is against your material, tighten it down with a wrench or socket. The washer's smooth edges won't mar the surface like teeth can. As long as the washer stays intact, you can reuse these 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. In fact, they're so secure that they're even used to fasten components on roller coasters. These locknuts are also reusable, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new nut for the strongest possible hold.

Bearing Locknuts

Carbon Steel

With a nylon insert that grips your threaded shaft or spindle without damaging its threads, these locknuts—also called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys prone to vibration tightly in place. They come as one piece, so you can easily clamp them onto your shaft or spindle. But, since they aren’t made entirely of metal, they don’t stand up to heat as well as all-metal locknuts. Slots in their sides mean you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket. Their face is also chamfered to help keep the size and weight of your assembly at a minimum. All meet international standards for bearing locknut dimensions.

Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated carbon steel locknuts resist rusting from some moisture, but you shouldn’t use them with salt water or chemicals. They are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as 303 stainless steel locknuts.

Carbon Steel—All carbon steel locknuts are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as 303 stainless steel locknuts.

303 Stainless Steel—303 stainless steel locknuts resist corrosion better than carbon steel locknuts but aren’t as strong. They withstand washdowns and chemicals.

Thread Spacing—When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.

Cap Nuts with Threadlocker

These nuts not only conceal and protect protruding screw threads, they also resist loosening from mild vibration. They have a nylon patch bonded to their threads that grips screws for a tighter hold than standard cap nuts. They’re reusable a handful of times, but the patch’s holding power decreases with each use. Also known as acorn nuts, they have a smooth, rounded head that creates a finished look.

Stainless Steel

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these nuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

Nylon-Insert Cap Nuts

Get the protection of a cap nut with the vibration resistance of a locknut. These nuts not only conceal protruding screw threads, they also have a nylon insert that grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. Nuts are reusable a handful of times, but their holding power decreases with each use.

Low-Strength Steel

Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these nuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
