Flange Nylock Nuts

BS Standard

Hex flanged nylock nuts from Sturdfix Fasteners have a nylon filled collar, placed behind the nuts. The nuts come with a large circular base flaring out from the front. These screws secure the fastener by applying a downward force on it. Another way in which these nuts secure bolts is by creating extremely tight friction between the nyloc and the threads. While the nut is suitable to be reused multiple times, be wary of the damage caused to the nyloc threads. It is advised to restrict its usage to not more than 50 times.

These nuts can withstand extreme amounts of torque and therefore, can be used in high strength and industrial applications. They are especially suitable for applications where there are constant movements and vibrations – flanged nyloc nuts can absorb the impact without damaging the threads of the fasteners. It can also protect oil or other liquids from slipping through. It is available in stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel to bear more wear and tear while also making it more corrosion resistant.
