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.
Medium-Strength Steel

These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. 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.

303 Stainless 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.
