Locking Nuts
Any nut can be manufactured with a locking feature. The most common locking nuts include Keps nuts, Nylon Insert Lock nuts and All Metal locknuts.
|
Keps NutsKeps nuts, also known as star nuts, have a washer integrated on one side which provides locking tension when tightened. Washers can be internal or external tooth lockwashers, split lockwashers or a variety of specially shaped washers, as needed. The most common version of a keps nut is the external tooth lockwasher. |
Metal Locking NutsAll Metal locknuts rely on an internal "pinch" or "crimp" in their threading to provide a locking mechanism. All metal locking features are most commonly seen in flanged nuts. |
Nylon Insert LocknutsNylon insert locknuts are produced by a number of manufacturers and there can be small variations in height and color of the insert depending on the manufacturer. Specification information provided is based on ESNA's specification. For high temperature applications please contact your sales professional at Apex Fasteners. |
