- A nyloc hexagon nut is a fastener that incorporates a nylon component to effectively lock the nut into position on the bolt.
- The nylon component has a smaller inside diameter than the actual nut.
- This locks the nut in place by squeezing the nylon firmly around the bolt when tightened.
- Unlike a standard locking washer, the nyloc nut prevents the nut from loosening under vibration as the nylon is tightly wedged into the bolt threads and provides resistance to turning when tightened.
- The nuts are stainless steel grade 304 (A2) for increased resistance to corrosion.
- Their hexagonal shape is designed to be driven by a wrench (spanner) and provides excellent torque when done so.
APPLICATION:
Where a permanent fastening is required and loosening must be prevented by movement or vibration.
Can be used on most bolt products including HT Bolts, Carriage Bolts, Threaded Rod etc.
Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor air-circulation environments. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties or steel and corrosion resistance are required.
