A nylon-insert lock nut (also referred to as elastic stop nut, nut with a non-metallic insert  or nyloc nut) is a type of locknut with a nylon collar that increases friction on the screw thread. Nyloc nuts are widely used in products and structures subject to dynamic loads where motion or vibration can cause fasteners to become loose. Their design prevents the connection from loosening without the need for additional lock washers.The nylon insert is situated at the top of the nut and when tightened locks against the thread. The insert deforms elastically over the threads as tightening pressure is applied. The insert locks the nut against the screw as a result of friction, caused by the radial compressive force resulting from the deformation of the nylon. Nyloc nuts retain their locking ability up to 250 °F.

Metric hexagonal nylon-insert self-locking nuts are high anti vibration and anti loose fastening parts conforming to DIN 982 and DIN 985 standards. Different metric thread sizes are designated by the letter "M" indicating the nut's clearance diameter in mm. The main difference between DIN 982 & DIN 985 is the height of the nuts for same thread diameter. DIN 982 lock nuts (often termed as “P” Type) are taller than DIN 985 (aka “T” Type) ones. Lower profile  DIN 985 are used in places where height is limited, while standard height DIN 982 nuts are used in connections where increased strength and fixation are required. In addition, the size range of DIN 985 nuts is wider than that of DIN 982. DIN 985 Nylon self-locking nuts can be used in various mechanical and electrical products with temperature from – 50 ℃ to 100 ℃. Due to their significantly higher anti vibration and anti loose performance than other anti loose devices, their application ranges from  tanks, mining, agricultural, textile &  various kinds of machinery to automobiles and aerospace.

Both DIN 982 and DIN 985 lock nuts are offered as part of our own (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality manufacturers they are competitively priced and can be supplied in different materials (Steel, Brass, Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel & Stainless Steel), grades (Class 5, 6, 8 or 10), metric thread diameters (typically M3/3 mm to M30/30 mm or up to 48 mm for DIN 985 nuts), thread pitches and finishes (natural, electro zinc-plated, chrome plated, black oxide and others). Sold in pieces or packs with number of pieces per pack indicated after "PK" designation in product SKU.

Notes:

Nut thread pitch indicates the distance between threads measured along the length of the nut expressed in mm.

In the case of stainless steel lock nuts, the stainless steel grades are denoted with codes such as A2 or A4 and dash numbers indicating the minimum tensile strength to be met by the material. For example, A2-70 relates to a nylon-insert lock nut made from 304 stainless steel with a minimum tensile strength of 700N/mm² (MPa).

Nuts are extensively used in a wide range of aerospace and industrial applications. Self-locking nuts are those containing a locking feature as an integral part. 

Hexagon self-locking nuts of both low (thin pattern) and regular height (pattern) used in aerospace and defense applications comform to different Standards and they are designed for use in high temp installations (up to 250°F or 1200°F for those from silver-plated stainless steel). Low height self-locking nuts complied with Army & Navy AN 364 superseded by Mil Standard MS 20364 which was in turn superseded by the newer Mil Standard MS 21083. Similarly, Army & Navy AN 365 Standard relating to regular height nuts was superseded by Mil Standard MS 20365 and this in turn by MS21044. Furthermore, MS Standards have been replaced by NASM National Aerospace Standards with their part identification numbers remaining the same. For example, nuts with PNs MS21083 and NASM21083 are identical.

Regular height NASM/MS 21044 self-locking nuts and their low-height NASM/MS 21083 counterparts replace the superseeded MS 20365  / AN 365 & MS 20364 / AN 364 for respective materials and sizes but their older Standard part numbers (although cancelled) are still commonly used in the market. Sourced from quality manufacturers, these nuts are offered as part of own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines in different materials and finishes (e.g. cadmium plated alloy steel, corrosion resistant steel passivated,copper cadmium plated, aluminum alloy anodized), and different dimensions and thread sizes in inches. Cadmium plated nuts are furnished to military specifications while stainless steel nuts are supplied to military specification and commercial grade. These nuts come either with all metal or non metallic inserts (often termed as fiberlock or elastic stop to create friction and prevent loosening from vibration) designated by the letters "C" and "A" respectively after the dash number. No letter indicates an all metal or a non metallic insert nut. They are reliable and economical fastening devices with their inserts providing a friction grip on the threads of the bolt  holdsing it securely.

The following letters after the dash in their part number indicate their materials and finishes:

"B" Copper alloy - Cadmium plated

"C" Corrosion resistant steel (stainless steel) - passivated

"D" Aluminum alloy - Anodised

"N" Steel alloy - Cadmium plated

For example, MS21044C3 is a corrosion resistance steel self-locking nut with a thread size of 10-32, while MS21044N3 is a steel alloy nut with the same thread size.

Sold in pieces or packs.

Self-locking nuts (aka lock nuts) are widely used in applications in which motion or vibration can cause fasteners to become loose. Lock nuts conforming to DIN 980 stanard are all metal prevailing torque, hexagonal nuts and they  are available in two types, DIN 980 V-type (DIN980/V) with a distorted thread and DIN 980 M-type ((DIN980/M) with an embedded metal locking plate.

In DIN 980 V-type distorted thread nuts, certain teeth of the nut thread are deformed through die stamping resulting in the inner diameter of the nut thread being slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt thread. Therefore, the friction force between the threads after the nut is tightened is far greater than that of the common thread, which can play an effective role in preventing loosing. 

In DIN 980 M-type nuts, the nut is embedded with a metal locking plate after heat treatment. The inner diameter of the metal plate is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the bolt thread. After the nut is tightened, the metal plate blocks the bolt thread, thus preventing loosening.

DIN 980 lock nuts must be tightened with tools (such as ratchet spanner) during installation. Although they can be can be used repeatedly, frequent disassemblies and installations are not recommended as the locking torque of the nut will decrease significantly.

Depending on the producer, DIN 980 lock nuts are manufactured in different metric thread sizes (M3 ~ M39) from carbon steel in various strength classes (such as  4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) or stainless steel in grades 70 and  80. They are offered in various finishes such as plain, black, zinc/yellow plated, H.D.G, and chrome plated.

Both DIN980/V and DIN980/M lock nuts are offered as part of our own (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. Sourced from quality manufactuurers they are competitively priced and can be supplied in carbon steel or stainless steel, in different grades, metric thread sizes  and finishes .

For additional information please consult the supplied documentation.

Notes:

Different metric thread sizes are designated by the letter "M" indicating the nut's clearance diameter in mm.

Nut thread pitch indicates the distance between threads measured along the length of the nut expressed in mm.

In the case of stainless steel lock nuts, the stainless steel grades are denoted with codes such as A2 or A4 and dash numbers indicating the minimum tensile strength to be met by the material. For example, A2-70 relates to a lock nut made from 304 stainless steel with a minimum tensile strength of 700N/mm² (MPa).

A castellated nut, also referred to as a castle nut or slotted nut, is a nut with slots (notches) cut into one end. Although castellated nuts are frequently referred to as slotted nuts, there are slight differences. Castellated nuts are formed with a round section at the top where the slots are located. Slotted nuts do not have this rounded modification. The flat sides of slotted nuts extend fully from the top to the bottom of the nut. Both castellated and slotted nuts are designed to use a pin (usually a split pin) that fits through the slots and through a hole in the screw to which the nut is attached. This pin prevents the nut from turning and loosening. Compared with slotted nuts, castellated nuts allow the cotter pin to be confined closer to the margins of the nut itself, providing added secureness.

MS14144 Series nuts are slotted hexagon style lightweight castellated self locking nuts manufactured from steel and cadmium plated. They are offered as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines in different sizes with right-hand thread direction and a dry film lubricant as applicable, specified by the letter "L" in the part number.

Steel Nut Specifications:

Material - 4130 Alloy Steel Per AMS-S-6758

Finish - Cad Type II, Class 2 Per AMS-QQ-P-416

Heat Treat- 150 KSI Min Per AMS2759

Hardness - 34-38 HRC

Thread Series & Class: UNJF 3B (Unified National Fine thread series with external thread controlled root radius)

Note: UNJ, UNJC, UNJF and UNJEF thread series are almost identical to the respective UN, UNC, UNF, and UNEF threads except that the external J thread has a much larger root radius than the standard UN threads and inspection must be performed on this element. The Special UNJ threads are designated by the nomenclature UNJS. J screw threads feature a root radius which improves the tensile stress area of the fastener and helps to reduce the stress concentration factor in the thread thus making the thread stronger. Additionally, the requirement for high strength is achieved with 3A and 3B classes of fit. All pitch diameters and tolerances are based on the Unified Inch Standard.

National Aerospace Standards (NAS) are voluntary standards developed and maintained by committees and working groups of subject matter experts from member companies of the U.S. Aerospace Industries Association (AIA).

These standards have served as the foundation for the development of aircraft, spacecraft, watercraft, ground vehicles, machinery, and electronics.

NAS parts are most well-known for state-of-the-art, high-strength, precision fasteners, electrical connectors, splices and terminations, rod end bearings, and many other types of hardware and components. The NA prefix relates to metric standards. 

NAS 1022 Series Hex Self-Locking Machine Nuts form part of NAS high-strength, precision fasteners. These low height and strength hexagon machine nuts are sourced from quality manufacturers and offered in different materials and finishes as part of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines in different thread sizes and dimensions in inches. Those from 450 deg. low strength steel are designated by the letter "A" after NAS1022. Similarly, the letter "C" designates nuts from corrosion resisting steel passivated while the letter "N" refers to steel cad plated nuts.

Boeing & Airbus, the two leading airframe builders, have developed specifications for fasteners, hardware and other parts manufactured by different companies. Compliance with  Boeing (aka BAC) and Airbus (aka ASNA) Standards is a  prerequisite for installation or use of these parts on their respective aircraft. In many cases, Boeing & Airbus fasteners and other parts have the same fit, form, and function and they are considered as alternatives or substitutes to the respective parts designed and/or manufactured by industry leaders such as HI-SHEAR  or HOWMET in the case of fastening products.They also conform to widely accepted Military & Aerospace Standards such as AN, MS, NAS and others. However, caution is required as, depending on their series & conforming standard, fasteners are offered in Imperial (in.), Metric (mm) systems, or  both, with resulting variations in their dimensions and units of measurement of their properties.

As a result of the extensive portfolio of fastening products (including screws and bolts, nuts, washers, pins, rivets, clamps, and many others) from different leading suppliers, and those falling under Boeing, Airbus, Military and Aerospace Standards, these are listed separately in our Web Platform for Supplies.  It must be noted that, depending on the intended application, usually more than one options are available to prospective buyers and selection is finally made, apart from specifications, on the basis of price or lead time required for non-stock parts. Whenever possible,correlation tables and other information and documentation is provided to facilitate the users' awareness on interchangeability of offered fasteners and the selection of the right parts for their intended application.
