The function characteristics of the hexagonal lock nut

2021-07-17

The lock nut is easy to install and can be reused. Precision machinery self-locking nuts with copper pins are widely used in machine tools, engineering and other industries. The working principle of the nut is self-locking by the friction between the nut and the bolt. However, the reliability of this self-locking under dynamic load will be reduced.
In some important occasions, we will take some anti-loosening measures to ensure the reliability of the nut locking. The lock nut is one of the anti-loosening measures. The anti-loosening effect of the lock nut mainly depends on the interaction force between the nut and the bolt engaging thread. There are many ways to improve the interaction force between meshing threads, such as structural improvement of nut threads and surface treatment of threads.
A nut is a part that is used together with a bolt or a screw for its fastening function. A component that must be used in all manufacturing machinery has different materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and so on.

The hexagonal side-to-side lock nut has a good effect on machine tools. Compared with the traditional hexagonal side-to-side lock nut, it has the advantages of convenient disassembly and assembly (the locking screw can be omitted), safety and reliability, and has certain advantages. Promotion value. In order to reduce the axial distance of the device, the application of the hexagonal compression lock nut (JB24-59) is more extensive. However, it is inconvenient to disassemble and assemble the traditional locking nut with hexagonal compression. If you forget to tighten the small screw, the nut will loosen, and reliability and safety will be poor.
