Center Lock Nut

This allows the nut to be started from either side.

Center lock nut.

Our patent pending center locking system consists of an additional reverse threaded cap which prevents it from backing out and tightens the center locking nut as a safety feature. Center lock nuts are similar to elliptical offset nuts except that they are distorted in the middle of the nut. We have designed and engineered our adapters and locking nut from aerospace grade forged steel for its strength and durability. Two way reversible lock nuts are considered two way because they can be installed in either orientation top up top down these nuts are also referred to as center lock nuts and are ideal for production and automated assembly.

Our leading center locking system is widely available in multiple bolt patterns. Center lock distorted thread locknuts grade 8 these locknuts tighten when turned to the left. Also known as reversible locknuts they can be threaded on from either end. Center lock flange nuts are reliable very versatile and low cost.

Center lock nuts are are distorted in the middle of the nut. More product details close. The larger flange diameters are well suited for soft materials in the assembly. A distorted thread locknut is a type of locknut that uses a deformed section of thread to keep the nut from loosening from vibrations or rotation of the clamped item.

Lock nuts are hex nuts with a nylon lock nuts are hex nuts with a nylon insert. As a result the locking of the mating part occurs in the center of the nut. This allows the nut to be started from either side. The small locking impression adds security to the application without distortion to the flange nut dimensions.

This design minimizes vibration corrosion and helps to prevent loosening. They have an irregularly shaped thread in the middle of the nut that grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon insert locknuts. The flat side of the lock nut should sit flush with the material once tightened.
