Two-way Reversible Lock Nuts Properties
Description A hex nut with two or three round or rectangular indentations compressed onto the flat sides equidistant from each other. The compressions create slightly distorted threads resulting in a controlled locking action when screwed onto mating threads.

It allows for automatic assembly because the top and bottom of the nuts are identical. These nuts create a locking action without even being fully threaded onto its mating screw.
Material Nuts are made from a low carbon steel which conforms to the following chemical composition requirements:   Sulfur: .23% max   Phosphorus: .12% max   Carbon: .47% max
Hardness Rockwell C28 maximum
Proof Load 90,000 psi
Plating See plating page for plating information.
