Nyloc nuts are one solution to the problem of loosening thread joints. They incorporate a nylon insert for the male thread
to bite into on installation. The examples below are extra special, because they are made from corrosion resistant stainless
steel, in both A2 stainless and A4.
These fine pitch metric nyloc nuts are manufactured to DIN 985 and are the low Type T. Nylocs are also
known as prevailing torque or locking nuts. As they are tightened onto a bolt, the bolt will cut a thread
into the nylon part, making it less likely to loosen. The fine pitch means that there are more threads
per centimetre, giving more engagement and adjustability to the fixing. They need to be used in conjunction
with the same pitch bolt. Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket. We recommend that anti-galling
measures are taken on installation of stainless steel variants of these items.
Prevailing torque type nut manufactured to DIN 985. Popularly employed Hexagon nut incorporating a nylon
insert to help prevent loosening when fitted. This is the standard profile variant (Type T), a higher
profile option is available under DIN 982 (Type P). Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket.
Prevailing torque type nut manufactured to DIN 982. Hexagon nut incorporating a nylon insert to help
prevent loosening when fitted. This is the higher profile (Type P) variant with more available thread
engagement and is typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket. A lower profile, where perhaps
space is at a premium is also available under DIN 985 (Type T).
A prevailing torque type locking version sharing the characteristics of the DIN 1587 dome nut. Incorporating
a nylon insert to help prevent loosening when fitted. Conforms to DIN 986.
A prevailing torque type hexagon nut incorporating a flange and nylon insert to help prevent loosening
when fitted. This particular version is non-serrated on the base of the flange. A serrated version is
also available. Manufactured to DIN 6926.
