Hex Nuts & Lock Nuts

Hex nuts and lock nuts are types of fasteners used in mechanical assemblies. Hex nuts have six flat sides and are threaded internally to fit onto bolts or threaded rods. They provide a secure and easily adjustable connection. Lock nuts, on the other hand, incorporate a locking mechanism to prevent unintentional loosening due to vibrations or dynamic loads. Common types include nylon-insert lock nuts and prevailing torque lock nuts. The added feature enhances stability and reliability in applications where vibration or movement is a concern, ensuring a more secure and durable fastening solution in various industrial and construction settings.
