Locknuts with Nylon Inserts

Hexagon Flange Torque Locknuts are six sided internally threaded fasteners with a washer like flange built onto them that with a nylon locking insert. Metric Hexagon Flange Nylon Insert Locknuts are used with externally threaded fasteners to apply a clamp load on an object and the nylon locking insert is designed to keep them from loosening under normal operating conditions. Hexagon Flange Locknuts can save time on installation since they do not require a use of a separate flat washer or locking component.

Nylon Insert Locknut Installation

Nylon Insert Locknuts should not be installed with any power tools. The increased friction created with turning a Nylon Insert Locknut with a rotary tool such as an air ratchet or impact tool can damage the threaded components causing an undesirable situation where either the nut becomes seized onto the external thread or the nylon insert is damaged.
