Heavy-Profile Steel-Insert Locknuts for Extreme Vibration
![]() |
Nearly 10% wider and taller than standard steel-insert locknuts, these handle heavier loads by distributing them over a larger area. They also have the most secure hold of all the heavy-profile locknuts we offer. The tab on the insert stops the nut from rotating, even under extreme vibration. These locknuts are ideal for equipment with constant motion or jarring starts and stops, including conveyors, shakers, and compactors. In fact, they're so secure that they're even used to fasten components on roller coasters. These locknuts are also reusable, but their holding power decreases after the first use, so you should use a new nut for the strongest possible hold.
High-Strength Steel
Rated Grade 8, Grade C, or Class 10, these locknuts are about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
