Featuring a nylon insert for vibration resistance and a corrosion-resistant 18/8 stainless steel body, these hex lock nuts are designed to keep critical fastenings secure in demanding environments.
Product Overview
These nylon insert lock nuts (often called Nylock nuts) combine a standard hex nut with a molded nylon insert that generates friction to prevent loosening due to vibration, shock, or dynamic loads. The 18/8 stainless steel construction (304 stainless) ensures excellent corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability across a wide range of applications.
