Stover Lock Nut – L-9

Stover lock nuts are renowned for their reliability in providing secure fastening solutions, especially in environments with high levels of vibration. These nuts feature a one-piece design with a hexagonal shape, topped by a conical top and a flat bottom bearing surface with chamfered corners. The distinctive feature of Stover lock nuts is the oval locking collar positioned atop the nut. The oval locking collar plays a crucial role in imparting prevailing torque characteristics to the nut. When the Stover lock nut is tightened onto a fastener, the oval collar creates interference and friction, effectively resisting loosening caused by severe vibration or external forces. This prevailing torque feature ensures a consistently tight and secure connection, even in demanding operating conditions.
