Nylon Lock Nut (UNC) is a coarse thread self-locking nut designed to provide secure fastening and improved resistance against loosening caused by vibration, movement, or dynamic load. It features a nylon insert inside the nut that grips the matching bolt or threaded stud, creating additional friction to help keep the nut in position after tightening.
UNC stands for Unified National Coarse Thread, which is commonly used in American standard fastening systems. Compared to UNF fine thread, UNC coarse thread has a larger pitch and fewer threads per inch, making it suitable for general fastening, easier installation, repair work, and maintenance applications.
Nylon Lock Nut (UNC) is commonly used in machinery, automotive, construction, agricultural equipment, metal fabrication, maintenance, repair, and general engineering applications where secure locking and coarse thread compatibility are required. It must be used with matching UNC bolts, studs, or threaded rods of the same diameter and thread pitch.
