Stainless steel prevailing torque nuts are used where a threaded joint needs to be permanently secured against loosening. The locking is achieved by deforming ("crimping") the nut during tightening, which creates a mechanical lock against the thread and prevents rotation during vibration or dynamic loading.
Available in several dimensions to suit load and design requirements. Prevailing torque nuts are used in mechanical engineering, automotive, construction, and other applications where disassembly is not intended and where high security against unscrewing is required. Suitable for industrial and corrosive environments.
