Anti-loosening nut is a nut that prevents the nut from loosening through special design.
Anti-loosening nut is a nut that prevents the nut from loosening through special design. Common types include:
Nylon insert anti-loosening nut (DIN985): built-in nylon ring, filling the thread gap by extrusion, excellent vibration resistance;
All-metal anti-loosening nut (DIN2510): generates continuous friction through elastic deformation or metal inserts, suitable for high temperature environment.
Material:
Nylon insert type: Q235 carbon steel + PA66 nylon, no red rust after 48 hours of salt spray test;
All-metal type: 35CrMoA alloy steel, surface plated with zinc or black, temperature resistance -56℃ to +170℃
Features:
Vibration resistance: Nylon insert type can withstand moderate vibration, and all-metal type is suitable for high-frequency vibration;
Removability: Nylon insert type can be reused 3-5 times, and all-metal type can be reused more times;
Environmental protection: Nylon insert is RoHS-compliant, and all-metal type is REACH-compliant.
Functions:
Prevent bolts from loosening due to vibration, impact or temperature changes;
Ensure the long-term reliability of key connections (such as engines and bridges).
Scenario:
Automobile engine (cylinder head bolts), mining machinery (crusher connection), wind power equipment (spindle flange).
Installation:
Nylon insert type: Tighten according to the standard torque to avoid excessive extrusion of the nylon ring;
All-metal type: Use a torque wrench to ensure that the elastic deformation meets the requirements.
Maintenance:
Nylon insert type: Avoid using in high temperature (>120℃) or solvent environment;
All-metal type: Check the elastic parts regularly for fatigue and replace them in time.
Select nylon insert type for normal vibration environment and all-metal type for high temperature vibration environment;
For high-precision scenarios such as aerospace, give priority to models certified by AS 9120 B.
