Product description
Applications
Self-locking hexagon nuts according to ISO 10511 are designed to provide a secure fastening solution in various applications where vibration and external forces could cause loosening.
Fields of use
These nuts are particularly useful in machine construction, heavy machinery, and other industries where tight connections are crucial. They are commonly used in construction machinery, such as cranes, bulldozers, and forklifts, as well as in automotive and aerospace applications.
Characteristics
Self-locking hexagon nuts feature a modified thread profile with wedge surfaces that point in the loading direction. This design creates a prevailing torque that prevents the nut from loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. The nuts are made with a specific tap that cuts a self-locking thread, ensuring a secure and reliable fastening solution.
