This M12 nyloc lock nut is manufactured to DIN 985 in A4 stainless steel (316 marine grade). DIN 985 specifies a standard hex nut body with a nylon insert in the upper portion of the thread. As the bolt passes through, the nylon insert deforms around the thread and creates a prevailing torque that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loading. Unlike chemical thread lock, the nylon insert remains effective after removal and re-fitting multiple times, making it practical for assemblies that require periodic maintenance access.

Typical applications

  • Marine and coastal assemblies where vibration lock is critical
  • Boat deck fittings, marina pontoons, and offshore structures
  • Swimming pool plant and chemical process equipment
  • Coastal fencing, handrailing, and outdoor furniture in saltwater zones
