Nylock (nylon insert) Nuts

Nyloc Hex Nuts

A nyloc nut is a nut that locks in a sense or is self-sticking and less likely to loosen due to vibrations or stress. This is achieved through the addition of the nylon insert that has a diameter slightly smaller than the nuts’ thread. A fastener screwed into the nut cuts a thread into the plastic, therefore increasing the compression force/ friction around it (tighter join). A nyloc nut is effective up to 121°C.
