Palnut Regular Lock Nuts secure bolts in applications where vibration or dynamic load might cause them to become loose.
These Palnut Regular Lock Nuts are a cost effective solution. They are inexpensive and do not require a torque wrench to install them, so installation is quick and easy. The installer turns the Lock Nut to finger tight then uses a spanner to tighten them a further third to half a turn. Once properly tightened, the hex face becomes slightly concave. This means they can be checked with a simple visual inspection which is less expensive than other Lock Nut systems.
Under M5 they can be used alone, for M6 and above they must be used in conjunction with a regular full nut.
