Heavy Thin Nylon Insert Lock Nuts (NU)

The Nylon Insert Lock Nut, commonly referred to as a Nylon Nut, is engineered to secure fasteners in place by utilizing internal nylon material. When tightened onto a fastener, the nylon material at the top of the thread compresses against it, generating friction and resistance against movement. This mechanism effectively prevents the nut from loosening due to vibrations or external forces, ensuring a stable connection over time. The hex heavy nylon insert lock nut is a variation of the standard Nylon Nut, distinguished by its larger width. This increased width offers several advantages. Firstly, it provides a broader contact area, distributing the clamping force more evenly and reducing the risk of damage to the connected material. Additionally, the larger size allows for greater torque to be applied during installation, resulting in a more secure and reliable fastening.
