Thin-Profile Flex-Top Locknuts for Heavy 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 that they're even used to fasten components on roller coasters. These locknuts are also reusable, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new nut for the strongest possible hold.
