• Material: Steel, grade 8
• Surface treatment: Electroplated
• Standard: DIN 985

Applications

This locknut is ideal for applications where vibrations are a factor, such as in the automotive sector and mechanical engineering. The nylon insert effectively prevents the nut from coming loose, even under harsh conditions.

Advantages of electroplating

• Corrosion resistance: The zinc layer protects the steel from rust.
• Aesthetic appearance: The plated finish provides a neat and professional look.

Compatibility

Suitable for use with bolts and threaded rods with UNC 1.1/4" thread. Ensure that the thread types match for optimal connection.
