Nylon Insert Lock Nut Specifications

Nylon insert locknuts product catalog wyandotte industries has been manufacturing special nuts and fasteners since 1959.

Nylon insert lock nut specifications.

Lock nuts may also be used as jam nuts threaded over another nut to keep it in place. Nylock nuts from ita fasteners have a nylon filled center which prevents the components from loosening. They are referred to as prevailing torque nuts or stiff nuts. Performs well at temperatures up to 250 f.

Asme b18 16 6 also defines the geometry and finish required on the external threads used for nut performance testing. About 25 stronger than medium strength steel locknuts these nuts are made of high strength class 10 steel. Nylon insert lock nut also called non metallic insert lock nuts or nyloc nuts manufacturers have historically used the strength designation of grade a b and c established by the industrial fastener institutes standard ifi 100 107 to designate the three different strength levels that these nuts can be manufactured to. The usage of these nuts makes sure that the structural damage to the body is minimum despite repeated assembly and disassembly.

The rings are normally cut from sheets using dies which makes their dimensions very consistent. Lock nuts do not readily loosen when placed on bolts. Bearing retainer nylon insert lock nut applications. This specification defines performance requirements and mechanical properties for these types of nuts at room temperature.

Perhaps the most unique aspect is the external threads required finish which is zinc phosphate and oil according to grade d of astm f1137. Nylon insert locknuts class 10 a nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration wear and temperature swings. Inch series nylon insert lock nuts are produced in accordance with asme b18 16 6. This makes them useful for holding wheels onto axles or in automotive engines where machine vibration would otherwise loosen the fastener.

The dimensional consistency is reflected in prevailing torque consistency. Cylinders bearing face retainers pinion shafts. Nylon insert locknuts class 10 a nylon insert keeps metric bolt threads from coming loose due to vibration wear and temperature swings. Hexagon locking nuts with a nylon locking ring inserted.

Screw machined from aisi c1117 or equivalent. Special thread configuration 004 maximum perpendicularity. Self locking nuts have a thread locking system that resists the screw reverse turning or backing off. Most nylon insert systems possess a nylon 66 thread interference characteristic that resists loosening under vibration.

Excellent for bearing applications where space is limited. There is no risk of galling or seizure during assembly the locking element is usually made of nylon specifically 66 nylon or zytel 101.
