N-LOC™
Nylon Insert Prevailing-Torque Locknut
The N-LOC™ is an all-metal fastener designed to provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection across various applications. This locknut features a nylon insert that creates frictional interference with the bolt threads, ensuring the nut remains securely fastened without the need for additional locking devices.
The N-LOC™ locknut is engineered to maintain joint integrity under conditions involving continuous heavy vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, and numerous loading cycles. The nylon insert provides a reliable locking mechanism, preventing the nut from loosening over time. This design is crucial in applications where consistent clamping force is essential for safety and performance.
Application
The N-LOC™ locknut is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Automotive Industry: Securing components subject to constant vibration and dynamic loads.
- Machinery and Equipment: Maintaining the integrity of assemblies in industrial machines operating under harsh conditions.
- Construction: Providing reliable fastening solutions in structures exposed to dynamic forces and environmental stressors.
