Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these locknuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Metric 18-8 stainless steel is also known as A2 stainless steel. These locknuts meet either DIN 982 or DIN 985, which are no longer active standards, but are still a common reference point for designers.

Made from 316 stainless steel, these locknuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. The nylon insert grips the bolt to resist loosening without damaging threads. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Metric 316 stainless steel is also known as A4 stainless steel. Nuts may be mildly magnetic. All meet DIN 982 or DIN 985, which are no longer active standards, but are still a common reference point for designers.

With a shorter hex height than standard DIN 985 locknuts, these nylon-insert locknuts meet international ISO 10511 dimensional standards and are easy to install in tight spaces. The nylon insert grips the bolt thread to keep them from loosening without damaging the threads, so they're good for use on machinery and equipment that's prone to vibration. These locknuts can be removed and reinstalled; however, their holding power weakens with each use. Use them for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels. Made of zinc-plated steel, they won't corrode in wet environments.

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.

Black-phosphate, zinc-plated, and zinc yellow-chromate plated locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments.

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 Class 8.8 bolts, they're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment. A zinc or zinc yellow-chromate plating provides corrosion resistance in wet environments.

Strong enough for use with most machinery and equipment, these Class 8 metric locknuts have an irregularly shaped thread in the middle of the nut that grips bolts tighter than nylon-insert locknuts. Also known as reversible locknuts, they can be threaded on from either end. All are zinc-plated steel, so they won’t rust in wet and damp areas.

Made from stainless steel, these locknuts resist chemicals and may be mildly magnetic. Threads at the top of the nut 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 threads.

The steel insert grips the threads and lifts away from the nut body when installed, isolating the insert from the nut’s load to resist spinoff caused by vibration. These locknuts are often used in shakers and vibrating equipment. The strength of the bolt should match the strength of the nut to prevent damaging threads. Comparable in strength to Class 8.8 bolts, they're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.

Strong enough for use in most machinery and equipment, these medium-strength metric nuts have serrations on the underside of the flange. The serrations prevent the nuts from loosening in applications with mild vibration.

Also known as collar nuts, they do not require a washer, which saves assembly time. Instead, the flange spreads the holding force across a wide area. Because the flange makes them wider than standard nuts, they may not fit into tight spots.

Zinc-plated steel nuts have a layer of zinc on the outside that prevents the steel from rusting in wet environments, extending the life of the nut.

To ensure compatibility with other parts and tools, some nuts meet ISO 4161 (formerly DIN 6923).

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. They're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel flange locknuts and comparable in strength to Class 10.9 bolts. Height includes the flange.

A nylon insert firmly grips threads to resist loosening and a flange distributes the load over a large area. These nuts are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment, they're comparable in strength to Class 8.8 bolts. Height includes the flange.

A nylon insert firmly grips threads to resist loosening and a flange distributes the load over a large area. They’re reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Class 10 steel, they're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel flange nuts and comparable in strength to Class 10.9 bolts. They have a zinc or zinc-yellow-chromate plating to resist corrosion in wet environments. Height includes the flange.

A nylon insert on these metric nuts prevents vibration from loosening them, and a domed head protects the threads at the end of the bolt from damage and debris. These nuts are reusable, but the nylon insert’s holding power decreases with each use. Also known as acorn nuts, they create a finished appearance and can reduce snagging on wires and insulation. Nuts meet DIN 986, an international standard for domed cap nut dimensions.

These nuts are made of strong and wear-resistant Class 6 steel. A zinc plating extends the life of the nut by protecting the inner steel from rust.
