NAS1291 Series Nuts

The NAS1291 series lock-nuts are widely used throughout the aerospace industry. They are thin-walled, self-locking nuts with a reduced height and are made of silver plated corrosion resisting (stainless) steel for maximum temperatures 800°F or cadmium plated alloy steel for maximum temperatures 450°F, and offered with or without dry film lubricant The NAS1291 series of nuts ranges in size from 02 to 10 corresponding to thread diameters of .086 to .6250 inches. The following designators indicate the material and the dry film lubrication of these nuts:

- No letter after NAS1291 indicates nuts made of cadmium plated alloy steel with dry film lubrication,

- The letter "X" after NAS1291 is used to designate nuts made of cadmium plated alloy steel without dry film lubrication,

- The letter "C" after NAS1291 indicates nuts made of silver plated corrosion resisting steel (CRES) for use at max temperature 800°F.When the letter "M" is included in the end of the part number, dry film lubrication is included & max temperature is 450°F.

Nuts NAS1291-02 thru -6, NAS1291X02 thru X6, NAS1291C04 thru C6 are inactive for new design. They have been superseded by respective nuts of NASM21042/MS21042 and NASM21043/MS21043 series.

NASM21042/MS21042 and NASM21043/MS21043 Series Nuts 

The MS21042 series (superseded by NASM21042 series) are all-metal hexagon reduced height self-locking nuts, rated at 160,000 psi tensile strength, made of cadmium plated steel. They are shorter than the AN363 nut but develop the same tensile strength. They are also  lighter than AN365 nylon lock nuts (an average of 63% lighter for sizes -3 through -6).The NASM21042/MS21042 lock nuts are widely used throughout the aerospace industry together with those of MS21043 series (superseded by NASM21043) all-metal reduced hexagon, reduced height self-locking nuts with a ring base made of corrosion resistance steel and silver plated. Because of their reduced hex dimension, they are widely used in limited space applications where wrench access is a problem. Both are designed for use in high temperature installations (up to 450°F for MS21042 series  and up to 800°F for MS21043 series nuts). They both come without or with or  a dark grey dry film lubricant, indicated by the letter "L" in their part number.
