This M8 nyloc lock nut is manufactured to DIN 985 in A2 stainless steel (304 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

  • Mechanical assemblies subject to vibration, where a standard nut would loosen
  • Automotive, machinery, and general engineering applications
  • Workshop equipment, bicycle and cycle components, and jig frames
  • General indoor and outdoor fixings where vibration or movement is a risk
