Locknuts are essential fastening components designed to prevent loosening under vibration and torque. Our premium locknuts offer superior performance, durability, and reliability for industrial, automotive, and construction applications. Below is an in-depth look at our product specifications and features.
| Size (inches) | Thread Pitch | Torque Capacity (Nm) | Temperature Range (°F) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/4" | 20 UNF | 10-12 | -40 to 250 |
| 5/16" | 18 UNF | 16-20 | -40 to 300 |
| 3/8" | 16 UNF | 25-30 | -40 to 350 |
| 1/2" | 13 UNC | 40-45 | -40 to 400 |
Q: What makes Locknuts different from standard nuts?
A: Locknuts incorporate special design features like nylon inserts, deformed threads, or metal locking mechanisms that create friction to prevent loosening. Unlike standard nuts that can vibrate free, Locknuts maintain tension even under severe vibration and dynamic loads. Our Locknuts undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed industry standards for vibration resistance.
Q: How do I properly install Locknuts for maximum effectiveness?
A: For optimal performance, follow these installation steps: 1) Clean all threads before installation, 2) Hand-tighten the Locknut until seated, 3) Use a torque wrench to apply the specified torque value (refer to our chart above), 4) Avoid over-tightening as this can damage the locking mechanism, 5) For nylon insert Locknuts, never back off after tightening as this reduces effectiveness. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for your specific application.
Q: Can Locknuts be used in high-temperature applications?
A: Yes, but material selection is crucial. Standard nylon insert Locknuts are limited to about 250°F. For higher temperatures (up to 400°F), we recommend all-metal Locknuts made from heat-resistant alloys. Our technical team can help select the appropriate Locknuts based on your specific temperature requirements and environmental conditions.
| Industry | Application | Recommended Locknut Type |
|---|---|---|
| Automotive | Engine components, suspension systems | All-metal prevailing torque Locknuts |
| Aerospace | Airframe assemblies, control systems | High-strength alloy Locknuts with special coatings |
| Construction | Structural steel connections, heavy equipment | Large diameter Locknuts with weather-resistant coatings |
| Electronics | Circuit board mounts, enclosure fasteners | Non-conductive nylon insert Locknuts |
Our Locknuts are engineered to meet the most demanding specifications across multiple industries. With precise manufacturing tolerances and quality control processes, we guarantee consistent performance batch after batch.
