M3 Zinc Class 8 Hex Nyloc Nut (1pc)

Are you looking to buy M3 Zinc Class 8 Hex Nyloc Nut (1pc) in Australia?

Hex Nyloc Insert nuts is hex shaped, internally threaded with a nylon insert. The nylon material prevents loosening from vibration and cross threads to stop the nut from backing off of the fastener. The insert deforms elastically over the threads of the screw, but threads are not cut into the nylon. The nylon insert locks the nut in two ways. First, it forces the bottom face of the screw threads against the top face of the nut threads, increasing the friction between the two. Second, the nylon applies a compressive force against the screw itself. They can also be used to assist sealing the bolt thread against seepage of oil, water, petrol, paraffin and other liquids.They come in a variety of materials

Also known as: Nylon Insert Nut, Nylon Lock Nut

Material / Coating: Zinc Plated is the most common fastener of plating due to its the low cost and shinny bright silver finish. A thin layer of zinc is applied by either electroplating or mechanically. It is intended to be used internally. Whilst some people use it externally it isnt recommended if corrosion is a concern. If you want a fastener that will withstand the outdoor elements choose from our Stainless steel range

Galling: can occur when excessive pressure is used to tighten a nut onto a thread, common with stainless fasteners but can also be an issue with other materials. Fasteners with damaged or fine threads are particularly prone to galling.
Some suggestions to help prevent thread galling:
Tightening the nut more slowly without excessive pressure, will frequently reduce or sometimes solve completely, the problem. As the installation RPM speed increases, the heat generated with friction during tightening escalates the chances of thread galling.
Reduce the friction by applying a suitable lubricant to the thread frequently eliminates thread galling. Typical lubricants are chloride-paraffine, molykoat lacquer, molybdenum disulphide, high pressure oil, graphite, mica, or talc, some assemblies where there is extreme pressure, corrosion resistant grease or waxes may also be effective

Thread Pitch (Metric): is the distance between the peaks of two threads along a screw, bolt, nut or fastener expressed in millimetres (mm). Used when referring to Metric parts. For example, a thread pitch of 1.50mm means that the distance between one thread and the next is 1.50mm
