A locknut is a type of nut designed to prevent loosening under vibration and torque. It typically features a self-locking mechanism, which can be achieved through various designs, such as:
- Nylon Insert Locknut: This type has a nylon insert that grips the threads of the bolt when tightened, providing resistance to loosening.
- Jam Nut: A thinner nut that is tightened against another nut to lock it in place.
- Mechanical Locknut: These utilize mechanical means, such as serrations or a locking mechanism, to secure themselves onto the bolt.
- Prevailing Torque Locknut: Designed to resist loosening due to the friction between the nut and bolt threads.
Locknuts are commonly used in construction, automotive, and machinery applications, where secure fastening is critical. They are available in various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and plastic, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance in different environments.
