ST-LOC®
Side Top Prevailing-Torque Locknut
The ST-LOC® is an all-metal fastener designed to provide a secure, vibration-resistant connection in various applications. This locknut features positive thread deflection on two sides at the top of the nut, ensuring a reliable locking mechanism without the need for additional locking devices.
The ST-LOC® locknut is engineered to maintain joint integrity under conditions involving continuous heavy vibration, shock, extreme temperatures, and numerous loading cycles. The prevailing-torque mechanism ensures that the nut remains securely fastened, making it crucial in applications where consistent clamping force is essential for safety and performance.
Application
The ST-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.
