A nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration, wear, and temperature swings. About 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts, these nuts are made of high-strength, Class 10 steel. They're used in valves, pumps, suspension systems, and other high-stress parts. A zinc plating prevents rust in wet areas. Combine with Class 10.9 metric bolts, which have similar strength. All are reusable but lose holding power after each use.

Some of these locknuts meet ISO 10511 (formerly DIN 985) or ISO 7040 (formerly DIN 982), which are international standards for dimensions. The ISO standards are functionally equivalent to the DIN standards with slight differences in width, height, or tolerances.

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 Although DIN 982 and 985 are no longer active standards, they’re still a common reference point for designers.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.
