About Nuts, Materials, and Finishes

Metric Medium-Strength Steel Hex Nuts—Class 8

Class 8 nuts are comparable in strength to Class 8.8 bolts and are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment.

Metric Fine-Thread Medium-Strength
Steel Hex Nuts—Class 8

Metric High-Strength Steel Hex Nuts—Class 10

About 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts, these nuts are comparable in strength to class 10.9 bolts.

Metric Fine-Thread High-Strength
Steel Hex Nuts—Class 10

Closely spaced metric threads prevent these nuts from loosening due to vibration. About 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts, these nuts are comparable in strength to Class 10.9 bolts.

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts

These nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Metric 18-8 stainless steel is also known as A2 stainless steel.

Metric Fine-Thread 18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts

JIS 18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts

These metric nuts meet JIS (Japanese industrial Standard) B 1181.

Metric Super-Corrosion-Resistant
316 Stainless Steel Hex Nuts

These metric nuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

Metric Fine-Thread Brass Hex Nuts

These brass nuts resist rusting from water and have closely spaced threads to prevent loosening from vibration.

Thin Hex Nuts

Metric Medium-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts

Half as thick as regular hex nuts, these nuts fit into spaces with low height clearances. They are about half as strong as medium-strength steel, and are often used for light duty applications, such as securing access panels.

Metric Fine-Thread Medium-Strength
Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These nuts are half the height of standard hex nuts, and have closely spaced threads to prevent loosening from vibration. Half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts, they are often used for light-duty applications, such as fastening signs in place.

Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These nuts should be used for light duty fastening applications, such as securing access panels.

Left-Hand Threaded Low-Strength Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion. Made of Grade 2 and Class 04 steel, these nuts can be used for fastening panels and other light duty fastening applications.

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

Useful in low-clearance applications, these metric nuts are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, but aren’t as strong. All are 18-8 stainless steel, which is nearly as strong as steel but won’t rust in outdoor, washdown, and other corrosive environments.

Metric Fine-Thread 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

Made with fine-pitch threads, vibration is less likely to loosen these metric nuts than those with coarse-pitch threads since the threads sit closer together. Also called jam nuts, they are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, so they’re good for applications with low clearance.

Left-Hand Threaded 18-8 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These nuts tighten when turned to the left; once fastened, they resist loosening from counterclockwise motion.

Metric Super-Corrosion-Resistant
316 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

These metric nuts are made of 316 stainless steel and half as tall as regular hex nuts—use them around chemicals and salt water when space is limited.

Left-Hand Threaded Super-Corrosion-Resistant
316 Stainless Steel Thin Hex Nuts

With threads that tighten to the left and made of 316 stainless steel, these nuts won’t loosen from counterclockwise motion in saltwater and corrosive environments. They’re half the height of standard hex nuts, so they fit where there’s low clearance.

Steel Extra-Wide Hex Nuts

Metric Extreme-Strength Steel
Extra-Wide Hex Nuts—Grade 2H

Comparable in strength to Class 12.9 bolts.

High-Strength Steel Extra-Wide Hex Nuts

These Class 10 nuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel extra-wide hex nuts.

Locknuts

Metric High-Strength Steel
Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Class 10

A nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration, wear, and temperature swings. About 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts, these nuts are made of high-strength, Class 10 steel.

Metric Fine-Thread High-Strength
Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Class 10

Closely spaced metric threads prevent loosening from vibration. These Class 10 steel locknuts are 25% stronger than our medium-strength steel nylon-insert locknuts.

Metric Medium-Strength Steel
Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Class 8

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.

Metric Fine-Thread Medium-Strength
Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts—Class 8

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.

Low-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

Made from low-strength steel, these locknuts should be used for light duty fastening applications, such as securing.access panels.

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

These metric locknuts have good chemical resistance.

Metric Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316
Stainless Steel Nylon-Insert Locknuts

More corrosion resistant than 18-8 stainless steel locknuts, these metric locknuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

High-Strength Steel Top-Lock
Distorted-Thread Locknuts

Comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel locknuts.

Metric Medium-Strength Steel Center-Lock
Distorted-Thread Locknuts—Class 8

Strong enough for use with most machinery and equipment, these Class 8 metric locknuts have an irregularly shaped thread in the middle of the nut that grips bolts tighter than nylon-insert locknuts.

Metric Stainless Steel Flex-Top
Locknuts for Heavy Vibration

Made from stainless steel, these metric flex-top locknuts resist chemicals and may be mildly magnetic.

Metric Steel-Insert Locknuts
for Extreme Vibration—Class 8

The metric steel insert grips the threads and lifts away from the nut body when installed, isolating the insert from the nut's load to resist spinoff caused by vibration.

Coupling Nuts

Metric Low-Strength Steel Coupling Nuts

For light duty applications, choose these metric-sized coupling nuts.

Metric Medium-Strength Steel Coupling Nuts—Class 8

Choose these locknuts to fasten standard metric threads. They’re Class 8 steel, so they can be used in most fastening applications.

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Coupling Nuts

These metric coupling nuts have good chemical resistance.

Stainless Steel Extra-Long Coupling Nuts

Stainless steel coupling nuts have excellent corrosion resistance in most environments.

Stainless Steel Cap Nuts

Metric 18-8 Stainless Steel Cap Nuts

316 Stainless Steel Cap Nuts

These metric cap nuts have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water.

Bearing Retaining Nuts

Bearing Retaining Locknuts

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.

Bearing Retaining Jam Nuts

Used in pairs or with another bearing retaining nut, these jam nuts—often called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears in place on your threaded shaft or spindle.
