Hex Lock Nut: Insert, Nylon Insert, 7/8-14, Grade 8 Steel, Zinc Yellow Dichromate Finish MPN:B52001629

This 7/8-14 Hex Lock Nut with an insert made of nylon and a grade 8 steel material is finished in a zinc yellow dichromate to add strength and corrosion resistance. The insert locks the nut into place once it has been tightened, providing secure, tamperproof fastening for industrial or commercial applications. Lock nuts come in many types but have one feature in common; their ability to remain attached when properly engaged. They are relied upon to ensure parts don't loosen over time while maintaining critical tension under high stress conditions. These nuts often replace traditional blind nuts, rendering them ideal for applications where they might be tampered with or vibrations could result in relaxation of torque. Lock Nuts offer versatility by providing both an end solution and value that cannot be replicated in regular machine nuts while forming part of the lock nut Value Collection range suitable for all industry applications.
