DIN985 Nylon Insert Lock Nut

Key Features of DIN 985 Lock Nuts:

1. Nylon Insert:

• The key distinguishing feature is the presence of a nylon insert or ring within the nut.

• This nylon insert creates friction and pressure against the bolt/stud threads, providing a locking action.

2. Hexagonal Shape:

• Like a standard hex nut, the DIN 985 lock nut has a hexagonal outer shape.

• This allows the nut to be tightened or loosened using a wrench or socket.

3. Internal Threads:

• The nut has internal threads that match the bolt or stud it will be used with.

• Common thread types include metric and standard/SAE threads.

4. Material:

• The main body of the DIN 985 nut is typically made of steel, stainless steel, or other strong metal.

• The nylon insert is integrated into the nut during the manufacturing process.

Key Benefits of DIN 985 Lock Nuts:

• Prevailing torque design prevents loosening and self-backing out

• Reusable - the nylon insert allows for multiple tightening/loosening cycles

• Vibration and shock resistance

• Maintains tension on the connection

• Tamper-resistant compared to standard nuts

DIN 985 lock nuts are commonly used in applications where a secure, vibration-resistant fastening is required, such as in automotive, machinery, and construction industries.
