Made from medium-strength steel with a nylon insert, these Class 8 metric locknuts are strong enough to use on most machinery and equipment that’s prone to vibration and temperature changes. The nylon insert also won’t damage the threads on your bolt. All are reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Pair them with compatible Class 8.8 metric bolts.

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 Although DIN 982 and 985 are no longer active standards, they’re still a common reference point for designers.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, the ISO 7041-2 standard has replaced the inactive DIN 982 standard. The ISO 7040 standard is similar to the inactive DIN 985 standard, except the overall height is a little taller.

Zinc-plated steel locknuts are a good option in dry environments. The zinc plating prevents the steel from corroding until the plating wears away.

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.

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.

Steel locknuts are best for dry environments, since moisture will cause them to rust. They are weldable and can be painted or finished.
