A2 Stainless Nylon Insert Nuts
A2 Stainless Steel Nylon Insert Nuts
Our A2 Stainless DIN985 Nylon insert nuts are a popular form of locking nut. They are also referred to as a nyloc, nylon-insert lock nut, polymer-insert lock nut, or elastic stop nuts. With these nuts the nylon insert wraps around the threads of the bolt or stud and locks the nut in place. This gives a nylon lock nut a distinct advantage over a lock washer when the bolt or threaded stud is subject to vibration, as the nylon lock nut is much less affected by vibration.
For marine applications or other highly corrosive environments we recommend the use of our A4 (316) Stainless Steel products instead of A2 (304) Stainless grade.
We also supply Nylon Insert nuts in a variety of grades, types and finishes such as BZP, Galvanised, A4 Stainless.
