Lock nut kit

The fastening and opening of bolts and nuts adopts non-standard design, and the matching
non-standard tools are used to solve the opening and fastening problems. In general, other
wrenches cannot be inserted. In the appearance design of nuts and bolts, non-standard slotting,
opening or pentagonal, heptagonal, nine-corner or custom-made corresponding groove tools
have played a very good anti-theft effect

Cold heading process is one of the new processes for pressure machining of less or no cutting
metal. It is a processing method that utilizes the plastic deformation of metal under the action of
external forces, and with the aid of molds, redistributes and transfers the volume of metal to form
the required parts or blanks. The cold heading process is most suitable for producing standard
fasteners such as bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and pins.etc

A Lock Nut Kit is a collection of specialized nuts designed to prevent loosening under vibration, torque, or dynamic loads. These kits typically include various types of locking nuts, washers, and sometimes tools for installation.

Common Types of Lock Nuts in a Kit:

1. Nylon Insert Lock Nuts (Nyloc) – Feature a nylon ring that creates friction to resist loosening.

2. Metal Lock Nuts – Use deformed threads or crimped sections to lock in place.

3. Serrated Flange Nuts – Have a flange with serrations that bite into the mating surface.

4. Prevailing Torque Nuts – All-metal nuts with a distorted thread for a tight grip

5. Keps Nuts (K-Lock or Washer Nuts) – Include an attached free-spinning washer for better clamping.

Components in a Typical Kit:

• Multiple sizes (e.g., M4, M6, M8, 1/4″, 3/8″, 1/2″)

• Different thread pitches (fine or coarse)

• Washers (flat, split, or tooth lock washers)

• Storage case for organization

Applications:

• Automotive (wheel hubs, suspension parts)

• Machinery (high-vibration environments)

• Aerospace & industrial equipment

• Lock nut kit

• DIY projects requiring secure fastening

Benefits:

• Prevents loosening due to vibration

• Improves safety in critical applications

• Reusable (depending on type)

• Corrosion-resistant options available (stainless steel, coated)
