What is Nyloc Nuts (Nylon Insert Nuts)?

The Nyloc Nut is a cost-effective locking nut that is perfect for applications where vibration or motion could cause the nut to loosen or come undone. The nut can also help seal the bolt thread against liquid seepage, including oil, water, gasoline, and paraffin.

Traditional nuts are just a simple threaded hole, therefore prolonged exposure to vibrations can cause them to come loose from the bolt they are attached to. But lock nuts prevent loosening by having a structure that makes the nut more vibration-resistant.

The locknut does offer a seal against moisture and gas. The nylon insert locknut has an insert that fits the screw’s threads and acts as a gripping mechanism because of the friction it generates. This reduces the likelihood that vibrations will cause the nut to come free.

The nylon side of nylon lock nuts is placed away from the bolt or screw head. As the bolt or screw is tightened, the threading should emerge from the side of the nut with the nylon insert.

Due to the polymers in the nylon lock nut, these are often used in applications where the temperature is lower than 177°C. After an initial fastening, they can be used safely up to fifteen times, offering desired reusability.

We do nyloc nuts in Grade 8 and Grade 10, There is a set bolt strength for each grade. No matter what system is used to grade the bolts, the stronger the bolt is the one with a higher number.
