AVIATIONEU NEW ERA...
AN316/NASM316 Series hexagonal steel cadmium plated thin non-locking check nuts are Military Specification versions of non-locking jam nuts used typically to lock in adjustments where a male threaded part screws only partway into a female threaded part (rod ends, grub screws, bulkhead fittings, etc). AN316/NASM316 Series jam nuts are thinner than the AN315 specification nuts for use in tighter installations but the AN316/NASM316 hex check nuts can carry half the tension load of the AN315 nuts.
Sourced from quality producers, the AN316/NASM316 Series check nuts are offered as part of AVIATIONEU NEW ERA product lines in steel cadmium plated or corrosion resistant steel (CRES) passivated (indicated by the letter "C" replacing the dash number) in different thicknesses and thread sizes in inches. Letters "R" and "L" after the dash number indicate a Right or Left Hand thread respectively. For additional information please consult the supplied documentation or contact us.
