Black Phosphate Nylon Stop Nut Hexagon Head Stainless Steel 18 - 8 5/16 M3 - M50

1. Descriptions:
           

       A nylon insert lock nut, also referred to as a nyloc nut, polymer-insert lock nut, or nylon insert (elastic) stop nut, is a common type of locknut comprised of a hex nut with a fixed nylon-filled collar at its back end. When a screw reaches the collar, the threads and nylon form a tight, frictional fit, thus restricting movement of the screw when it is subject to vibration. Nyloc nuts are designed to be used with machine screws and bolts and can be reused.

        Nylon Insert Locknuts are available in different series/types including: NE (Light Hex, Standard Height), NTE (Light Hex, Thin Height), NTU (Heavy Hex, Thin Height), NU (Heavy Hex, Full Height), NM (Machine Screw Pattern, Standard Height), and NTM (Machine Screw Pattern/Thin (Jam) Height).

      Nylon nut is a branch of various kinds of nut categories.Its action with bolt used to achieve the purpose of two or more parts together. The nylon plastic insert is placed at the end of the nut, and its inner diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the screw. The insert deforms elastically over the threads of the screw, but threads are not cut into the nylon. Self-locking nuts and regular hexagonal nut, but more than ordinary nut has the function of locking connection parts of the commonly used in vibration

3. Features:

       * Nylon Nuts are also called Nyloc Nuts. Nylon Nuts is similar to a Hex Nut with a one major difference, the nylon collar inserted in the end of the nut.

      * The Nylon Nut has a nylon collar are made with a smaller inner diameter which will provide a better grip to the thread when fastened.

      * Nylon Lock Nuts are 100% 18-8 (304) Stainless Steel which is one of the highest forms of corrosion resistant metals, making it last longer than other Nuts on the market today.

      * Nylon hex lock nuts are very strong and are great for both indoor and outdoor use. This stainless is superior to regular steel and provides excellent rust resistance.

4. Applications:
 
     Nylon nut have excellent insulation performance, nonmagnetic, heat insulation, light weight, individual material nylon nut also has high temperature resistance, high strength, corrosion resistance, can match with the plastic screws to use, and can be used with metal screws, some models have locking function.Widely used in various industrial fields.
 
 5. FAQ: How to use a nylon lock nuts?

A: Lock nuts are typically used by engineers and mechanics to secure wheels on axles and threaded shafts. A nylon lock nut comes with a nylon insert that conforms to the threads of the screw on which it is placed. This causes the nylon lock nut to grip better against the threads and reduces the chances of the nut loosening due to the vibration of the screw

1. Examine the nylon insert for damage

   Check the interior of the nut to ensure that the nylon insert is smooth and undamaged. A damaged insert does not grip as well and should be replaced. Only new nuts should be used, as multiple uses damage the nylon insert.

    

2. Place the lock nut

   Slide a washer down the shaft or axle until it reaches bottom. This prevents friction from the wheel from loosening the nut once it is in place. Start screwing the lock nut onto the threaded screw or shaft. Screw the nut in place by hand, turning it clockwise until the top of the screw is level with the top of the lock nut.

    

3. Tighten the lock nut

   Fit a socket wrench over the top of the nylon lock nut. Turn the wrench in a circular motion clockwise, working the nut down the threads until it reaches bottom. The nut requires twice the force to screw it in place once it is entirely in place on the threads than it did when screwing the nut on by hand. Remove the socket wrench when the nut hits the end of the threads.
