Nylon-Insert Cap Locknuts


The nylon cap covers and grips the threads to resist loosening. They’re reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Nuts are steel with a nylon 6/6 cap and insert.
Zinc-plated nuts have a layer of zinc that protects the steel from rust in wet environments.

Metric Nylon-Insert Cap Locknuts

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.
