A nylon insert lock nut (also called a nyloc nut) is a self-locking fastener that resists loosening under vibration and repeated use. The nylon insert creates friction against the bolt thread, maintaining tension without additional lock washers or hardware. These nuts are essential for mechanical assemblies, automotive applications, machinery, and construction projects where secure, vibration-proof connections are critical.

The zinc-plated steel body provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor use, extending service life in damp or exposed environments. Unlike standard nuts that can loosen over time due to vibration, heat, or movement, nylon insert lock nuts re-engage after each removal and reinstallation, delivering consistent fastening performance across diverse applications.

Features and Benefits

  • Nylon Insert Locking: Self-locking action maintains tension and prevents loosening under vibration, reducing risk of fastener failure in dynamic assemblies.
  • Zinc-Plated Protection: Corrosion-resistant coating extends durability for indoor, outdoor, and moisture-exposed applications.
  • 3/8-16 Thread Size: Matches standard bolt dimensions, simplifying compatibility and inventory management.
  • Reduced Installation Time: Self-locking design eliminates the need for additional lock washers, cutting parts count and assembly labor.
  • Reusable Performance: Nylon insert re-engages reliably after multiple removals and reinstallations.
