Stainless Steel Locknuts
Stainless Steel Locknuts
Corrosion-Resistant Fastening Solutions for Secure Assemblies
Stainless steel locknuts are engineered to prevent loosening caused by vibration, torque, and dynamic loads while offering excellent corrosion resistance. Commonly used in marine, food processing, chemical, construction, and industrial environments, stainless locknuts provide long-term reliability where standard nuts may fail. Available in multiple designs, these locknuts ensure secure fastening across a wide range of applications and operating conditions.
Nylon Insert Locknuts (Nyloc® Style)
Vibration Resistance with Smooth Installation
Stainless steel nylon insert locknuts feature a non-metallic nylon collar that grips the bolt threads, creating prevailing torque that resists loosening. These locknuts are easy to install and remove, making them ideal for assemblies requiring service or adjustment. They perform best in applications with moderate temperatures and vibration.
All-Metal Locknuts
High-Temperature and Heavy-Duty Performance
All-metal stainless steel locknuts rely on metal deformation rather than inserts to maintain locking force. Designs such as top-lock, center-lock, and distorted thread locknuts provide excellent resistance to vibration and are suitable for high-temperature environments where nylon inserts are not recommended. These locknuts are widely used in industrial machinery and structural applications.
