    Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    About half the height of standard-profile locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. 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.
    High-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They offer minimal corrosion resistance, so they're best for dry environments.

    Low-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Zinc-Plated Steel—The dark zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture while creating a finished look.
    Black-Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—These nuts combine a finished appearance with the rust resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance, to hold up in wet and outdoor environments. Also known as black luster.

    Thin-Heavy-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    About half the height of standard-profile locknuts and 10% wider, these fit in spaces with low clearance and handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. 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.
    High-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Locknuts. Thin-Heavy-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts.
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Black-Phosphate-Coated Steel—The dark coating creates both a finished appearance and a barrier against rust that's comparable to zinc yellow-chromate plating.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Corrosion-Resistant-Coated Steel—These nuts combine a finished appearance with the rust resistance of stainless steel. The coating has been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance, to hold up in wet and outdoor environments. Also known as black luster.

    Thin-Profile Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

    About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The top section expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. As a result, they're suitable for use in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

    Thin-Heavy-Profile Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

    About two-thirds the height of standard flex-top nuts and 10% wider, these fit in spaces with low clearance and handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. Because of the thin profile, you can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The top section expands to grip the screw on all sides for a stronger hold than both nylon-insert and distorted-thread locknuts. As a result, they're suitable for use in equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.

    These locknuts have equivalent strength to Grade 8 and Class 10 steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Cadmium-Plated Steel—These locknuts have good lubricity to thread on smoothly and ease installation. The plating also creates a barrier against rust that's comparable to zinc-yellow-chromate plating.

    Thin-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration

    About two-thirds the height of standard steel-insert locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance and offer the most secure hold of all our thin-profile locknuts. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure, they can even fasten components on roller-coasters. You can reuse them once or twice, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new locknut for the strongest possible hold.
    High-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Bottom orientation. Locknuts. Thin-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration.
    Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.
