Prevailing Torque Locknuts
Posted on September 28th, 2016 by vaproPrevailing Torque Lock nuts continue to resist loosening, even while sustaining substantial friction during assembly. These PT fasteners are the optimal choice for applications that routinely sustain heavy vibration and shock, extreme temperatures, and numerous loading cycles without a moment’s rest. Lok-Mor has been setting the standards for locknut quality since 1982, and our Free Spinning Locknut and Prevailing Torque line up passes the test.
