Safety Locking Nut

K Elemech has introduced a Safety Locking Nut for vibrating screens, hammer mills, pulverisers, impact mills, crushers and other industrial machinery, pumps, turbines, blowers and rotating equipment prone to vibrations that cause loosening of nuts. This is an effective replacement for nylok nuts, pre-assembled with stainless steel spring steel lock type elements to impart specific locking of the mating bolt or stud in any desired position and does not generally unwind due to impact and vibrations. Unlike nylock nuts, these can be repeatedly assembled and dis-assembled while retaining the original torque. The fitted element is resistant to galling, seizure, corrosion and heat, enhances thread life and has greater loading capacity. It is dimensionally accurate to extremely high limits, made of high tensile steel with hardness 43-48 Rockwell C. These nuts withstand greater loading for applied torque; the applied torque does not have to over come thread friction, the total torque being used to stretch the bolt. One or more flexible polygonal coils extend corrective action for cancelling out pitch or angle defects. There is an even distribution of load over all engaged threads. It comes in standard sizes M-8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, up to 39 or can be manufactured as per requirement. Among the users are various OEMs.
