Hex Lock Nut Nylon Insert Zinc

Overview: Hex Nuts Nylon Insert

• BoltCraft’s Hex Nuts with Nylon Insert are designed specifically to prevent loosening caused by vibration or torque. This locknut design uses a nylon insert that fits tightly against part threads, creating extra resistance. The zinc plating further protects the nut from moisture and wear, enhancing its reliability over time.

Applications & Advantages

• Perfect for assemblies where vibration and movement could cause traditional nuts to back off, these nylon insert locknuts are built to stay put. Whether you’re dealing with power tools, engines, or structural connections, the nylon insert adds a layer of locking power by creating friction with the bolt.
• The nylon insert is slightly smaller than the internal diameter of the threads, which helps create a secure grip on the bolt. Ideal for critical applications where you need the nut to resist loosening over time. Zinc plating allows these lock nuts to withstand environmental wear, making them suitable for both exposed and enclosed environments.

Material & Specifications: Nylon Insert Locknuts

• Manufactured from low carbon or high-strength steel, these lock nuts are durable enough for demanding applications. Each nut includes a nylon insert that grips the screw or bolt threads tightly, helping to reduce loosening from repeated motion.
• Compatible with standard bolt threads ranging from 1/4″ to 1 1/2″ in diameter. The nylon insert lock provides consistent locking strength without damaging the threads of the mating part. Designed to match a wide variety of bolts and screws, these nuts are a flexible choice for many mechanical setups.

Hardness & Durability

• Built for endurance, these hex lock nuts nylon insert varieties are available in low carbon or high tensile grade 8 with zinc finishes. The nylon insert retains its shape and grip, even after multiple uses.
• The nylon collar insert increases the nut’s ability to maintain a strong connection under changing loads. The combined materials resist wear, vibration, and corrosion, extending the service life of both the nut and bolt.
