FlexLoc® Heavy Hex Full Height Lock Nuts Properties
Description An all metal, one piece, hex shaped lock nut with a round collar at it back end. The collar is segmented with opposed slots cut into it above each corner of the nut. When the screw or bolt reaches the collar, the slotted portion expands creating the torque locking action.
Applications
& Advantages
The full height heavy hex lock nut has the greatest locking capability and largest wrenching area of all the FlexLoc® nuts. FlexLoc® nuts maintain their locking strength through 15 removals and re-applications, and at temperatures up to 550°F (450°F if zinc or cadmium plated). They have superior resistance to vibration compared to all the other lock nut varieties and do not gall threads.
Material Carbon steel
Plating Unless specified as plain steel, usually supplied as zinc, zinc yellow, or cadmium finish.
See plating page for more information.
