A Nylon Insert Flange Hex LockNut - M5 (Stainless Steel) is a type of locknut that has a hexagonal shape, a flange at one end, and a nylon insert at the other end. The flange provides a larger bearing surface and distributes the load over a wider area. The nylon insert creates friction on the screw thread and resists vibration and torque, preventing the nut from loosening. The nut is made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and rust. The nut has a metric thread size of M5 and a pitch of 0.8 mm.
Features:
- Hexagonal shape: The nut has six sides that can be gripped by a wrench or a socket for easy installation and removal.
- Flange: The nut has a circular flange at one end that increases the contact area with the mating surface and reduces the risk of damage to the material.
- Nylon insert: The nut has a nylon collar insert at the other end that deforms slightly when the screw is tightened, creating a locking effect on the thread and preventing the nut from loosening due to vibration or movement.
- Stainless steel: The nut is made of 304 stainless steel, which is a common grade of stainless steel that has good strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
