Reliable fastening with locknut DIN985 M3

A locknut DIN985 M3 is a hex nut with an integrated nylon ring at the top. This nylon ring prevents the nut from loosening due to vibrations, which is essential in applications where stability and safety are paramount.

Applications in the automotive sector

In the automotive sector, it is crucial that fasteners can withstand constant vibrations and movements. The locknut DIN985 M3 is often used in:

• Fastening of bodywork parts
• Assembly of engine components
• Installation of interior parts

Technical specifications

• Thread size: M3
• Wrench size: 5.5 mm
• Height: 4 mm
• Material: Steel, strength class 8
• Surface treatment: Electrolytically galvanized
• Standard: DIN 985 / ISO 10511

Advantages of electrolytic galvanization

Electrolytic galvanization provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion. This is especially important in environments where metal parts are exposed to moisture and other corrosive elements. As a result, the nut's lifespan is extended and the connection remains reliable.

Usage tips for optimal performance

• Ensure that the bolt and nut are clean and free of dirt before assembly.
• Use a wrench of the correct size (5.5 mm) to prevent damage.
• Regularly check the tightness of the nut, especially in applications with a lot of vibrations.

Packaging and availability

These locknuts are supplied in packages of 200 pieces, which is ideal for both professional and DIY applications. They are immediately available for use in various projects.

Alternative materials and versions

In addition to the electrolytically galvanized version, these locknuts are also available in stainless steel (A2 / AISI 304) and A4 (AISI 316). These variants offer extra resistance to corrosion and are suitable for use in more aggressive environments.
