A non-metallic insert flange hexagonal lock nut is a nut with a hexagon head and a larger bottom support surface that has a non-metallic element, usually nylon, embedded inside. This design combines the features of a nylon locknut and a flange nut to provide additional tightening and prevent loosening. The bottom flange of this type of nut distributes the pressure during tightening and reduces damage to the connected parts.
Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.
Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.
Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.
Advantage:
Anti-loosening performance: Nylon inserts form a tight grip with the bolt threads when the nut is tightened, providing the ability to prevent self-loosening. Increased contact area: The hexagon flange design increases the surface area of the nut in contact with the workpiece, providing a stronger and greater pulling force. Vibration Resistance: Especially suited for use in vibrating environments, it effectively prevents the nut from loosening due to vibration.
Scope of Application
Automotive industry: The hexagon flange design for the fixing of automotive components, such as wheel assembly, suspension systems, etc.
Mechanical and manufacturing industry: for fixing and clamping components in the assembly of machinery and equipment.
Architecture and Structures: For use in architectural and structural projects to ensure structural stability and safety.
Pipe Connections: Commonly used to connect pipes and flanges, especially in applications where extra tightening and prevention of loosening is required.
