Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Versatile yet economical, these are the most commonly used locknuts. 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

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-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.

These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Low-Strength Steel

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.

Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel

18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these locknuts resist rust. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.

316 Stainless Steel—Our most corrosion-resistant nuts, these hold up in just about any environment. They won't degrade from exposure to weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

Bearing Locknuts

Carbon Steel

With a nylon insert that grips your threaded shaft or spindle without damaging its threads, these locknuts—also called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys prone to vibration tightly in place. They come as one piece, so you can easily clamp them onto your shaft or spindle. But, since they aren’t made entirely of metal, they don’t stand up to heat as well as all-metal locknuts. Slots in their sides mean you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket. Their face is also chamfered to help keep the size and weight of your assembly at a minimum. All meet international standards for bearing locknut dimensions.

Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—Zinc-plated carbon steel locknuts resist rusting from some moisture, but you shouldn’t use them with salt water or chemicals. They are strong and resist wear, though they don’t stand up to corrosion as well as 303 stainless steel locknuts.

Thread Spacing—When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.

Locknuts for use with Cotter Pins

Use these locknuts to secure rotating parts subjected to mild vibration, such as the wheels on carts and hand trucks. They’re not recommended for use on parts exposed to high vibration because the pin can shear under prolonged stress. These nuts are reusable, but you'll need a new cotter pin (not included) with each use.

Medium-Strength Steel

These Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.

Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration

The most secure hold of all the locknuts we offer. 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.

Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.

Top-Lock Distorted-Thread Locknuts

Irregularly shaped threads at the top of these locknuts grip the screw for a stronger hold than nylon-insert locknuts. Although the threads prevent the nut from backing out due to vibration, they also increase the effort to install and remove. To get these nuts off, you may need special tools, such as an impact wrench or propane torch. Nuts are not reusable.
