M20 Prevailing Torque All Metal Locking Nut (Inloc) in A2 Stainless - Sim. ISO 7042 / DIN 980
Prevailing Torque Nuts are a type of all metal locking nut. Designed to lock and resist vibration or
shock. Part of the top threads on the nut deform to create a locking action by increased friction, meaning
they will not spin freely and torque via a spanner would be needed to fit and remove - hence the name
Prevailing Torque. Ideal for applications that require protection against vibratory and other equally
dynamic forces. Being All Metal, they do not suffer adversely from high temperatures or chemical contact
like other materials such as plastic (used in Nyloc Nuts). Used frequently in Farming Machinery, Automotive
and Production Processes.
