Nylon Insert Lock Nut Specifications

About 25 stronger than medium strength steel locknuts these nuts are made of high strength class 10 steel.

Nylon insert lock nut specifications.

The nylon filling is machine threaded and acts as a lock to ensure that the fastening is secure. Screw machined from aisi c1117 or equivalent. Hexagon locking nuts with a nylon locking ring inserted. Perhaps the most unique aspect is the external threads required finish which is zinc phosphate and oil according to grade d of astm f1137.

Nylon insert lock nut also called non metallic insert lock nuts or nyloc nuts manufacturers have historically used the strength designation of grade a b and c established by the industrial fastener institutes standard ifi 100 107 to designate the three different strength levels that these nuts can be manufactured to. Lock nuts may also be used as jam nuts threaded over another nut to keep it in place. Nylon insert locknuts class 10 a nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration wear and temperature swings. The usage of these nuts makes sure that the structural damage to the body is minimum despite repeated assembly and disassembly.

Asme b18 16 6 also defines the geometry and finish required on the external threads used for nut performance testing. Performs well at temperatures up to 250 f. Nylon insert locknuts class 10 a nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration wear and temperature swings. There is no risk of galling or seizure during assembly the locking element is usually made of nylon specifically 66 nylon or zytel 101.

About 25 stronger than medium strength steel locknuts these nuts are made of high strength class 10 steel. Self locking nuts have a thread locking system that resists the screw reverse turning or backing off. The rings are normally cut from sheets using dies which makes their dimensions very consistent. Cylinders bearing face retainers pinion shafts.

Most nylon insert systems possess a nylon 66 thread interference characteristic that resists loosening under vibration. Excellent for bearing applications where space is limited. Lock nuts do not readily loosen when placed on bolts. Nylock nuts from ita fasteners have a nylon filled center which prevents the components from loosening.

The dimensional consistency is reflected in prevailing torque consistency. Inch series nylon insert lock nuts are produced in accordance with asme b18 16 6. This makes them useful for holding wheels onto axles or in automotive engines where machine vibration would otherwise loosen the fastener. This specification defines performance requirements and mechanical properties for these types of nuts at room temperature.
