The prevailing torque lock nut, also known as a self-locking nut, locking nut, or elastic stop nut, is a dependable fastening solution that resists loosening under vibration and torque. The term "prevailing torque" refers to the resistance the nut provides when tightened or loosened, ensuring it remains tightly fastened even if the initial pressure decreases. Unlike regular nuts, it works by slightly changing its shape to grip the bolt tightly, creating friction that prevents it from loosening. This makes it useful in situations where there are high temperatures and vibrations, as it doesn’t require any additional materials to keep it firm. While these nuts aren’t permanently fixed and can still be adjusted or taken off, they are well-suited for roles such as stop nuts or spacers.
These one-piece hex nuts are known for their conical top and flat bottom bearing surface, with chamfered corners. All-metal construction offers superior resistance to temperature and chemical conditions compared to non-metallic lock nuts. Prevailing torque nuts can be used in automotive and manufacturing industries that require high vibration resistance and secure, long-lasting connections.
