Get a grip on metric bolts exposed to vibration, wear, and changes in temperature. These metric locknuts have a nylon insert that holds onto bolts without damaging their threads. They have fine-pitch threads, which are closer together than coarse-pitch threads and less likely to loosen from vibration. Fine threads and coarse threads are not compatible. These locknuts are reusable but lose holding power with each use.

Made of Class 8 steel, these nuts are strong enough for use with most machinery and equipment. A zinc plating prevents rust in wet and damp areas. Combine them with Class 8.8 metric bolts, which are comparable in strength.

These locknuts meet the dimensional and material standards of DIN and ISO that make sure they're compatible with other parts and tools. Although DIN 982 and 985 are no longer active standards, they’re still a common reference point for designers. With only slight differences in tolerance, ISO 7040 and 10511 have replaced the inactive DIN standards.

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.

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.

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).

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-yellow chromate plating to resist corrosion in wet environments. Height includes the flange.

Grip metric bolts more securely than nylon-insert flange locknuts—the irregularly shaped threads on these locknuts hold extra tight. They resist vibration and sudden shocks, even after multiple uses. Thanks to their flange, these nuts distribute pressure across a greater area than standard nuts, so you don’t need to add a washer. However, they may not fit in tight spaces. Made of high-strength, Class 10 steel, these nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel flange nuts. Their strength is comparable to Class 10.9 bolts. A zinc plating protects the steel under it from rust, extending the life of the nut.

These flange nuts meet DIN and ISO dimensional standards that confirm their compatibility with other parts and tools. ISO 7044 is functionally equivalent to DIN 1664 (formerly DIN 6927).

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.
