Kooyman Zinc-Plated Nylon Lock Nut M12

Description

A locknut, also known as a lock nut, locking nut, self-locking nut, prevailing torque nut, stiff nut or elastic stop nut, is a nut that resists loosening under vibrations and torque. This nylon lock nut is hexagonal nut used with bolts and washer of the same material, finish, and grade. The nylon ring creates rotational resistance when displaced by a mating male threaded fastener, thus preventing loosening. The nylon insert also helps resist vibration and adds extra corrosion resistance.
