FAQs

Why use nyloc nuts instead of lock nuts?

Lock nuts with integrated nylon inserts help to create a stronger bond when tightening to components, making them perfect for heavy duty applications where extensive vibration may occur. As torque is applied, the nylon insert bonds with the thread offering an enhanced fastening.

How do you tighten the locknut?

Due to the simple yet robust design, RS PRO nyloc nuts can be installed quickly and easily by hand, making them highly cost effective. They also feature equally spaced grooves on the outside to accommodate a hook or impact spanner, allowing for further torque to be achieved.
