In spite of being a very small component, fasteners are essential during production, assembling or construction. Used across industries, fasteners are a critical buy. It is important to decide on which type of fastener would suit your requirements best. Discussed below are the most commonly used special nuts and their applications:

Nylock nuts
Nylock nut, also called nylon insert lock nut is a special type of nut. It includes a nylon collar insert at the end of the nut, which deforms elastically over the threads of the screw providing extra resistance. This resistance is called "prevailing torque". Prevailing torque is the force required to turn the nut. Nylock nuts are used in cases where there will be vibration between any joined pieces. The nylon forms to the contour of the thread reducing the chance of it becoming loose.
Flange Nuts
A flange nut has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated, non-spinning washer. It helps distribute the pressure of the nut over the part, reducing the chance of damage and making it less likely to loosen. This nut is hexagonal in shape. The flange may be ...
... serrated to provide a locking action. The serrations are angled in such a way that they keep the nut from rotating in the direction that would loosen the nut. The serrations help in avoiding any vibration of the nut and increase the holding strength of the nut.

All these nuts are available in different sizes, grades and coating. They are available in standards like DIN, JIS & IS. Fastener World has an exhaustive range of such nuts and other fasteners, catering to various industries and sectors.
