SS304 Nylon Insert Nut

SS304 Nylon Insert Nut consists of a nut body crafted from high-quality SS304 stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. The SS304 material ensures that the nut can withstand harsh environments and resist rust and oxidation effectively.

A Nylon Insert Nut (often called a Nylon Lock Nut or Nyloc Nut) made from SS304 (Stainless Steel 304) is a type of fastener designed to resist loosening under vibration and torque.

Key Features:

Material: SS304 (Stainless Steel 304) – Offers good corrosion resistance and durability.

Nylon Insert: A nylon (polyamide) ring inside the nut creates friction against the bolt threads, preventing loosening.

Reusable: Can be reused a few times before the nylon loses its locking effectiveness.

Temperature Limit: The nylon insert typically withstands up to 250°F (121°C); beyond this, the locking feature may degrade.

Common Applications:

Automotive & machinery (where vibration resistance is needed)

Marine & outdoor applications (due to SS304's corrosion resistance)

Electronics, furniture, and general industrial assembly

Standards & Specifications:

Thread Types: Metric (M3, M4, M5, etc.) or Imperial (e.g., #10-32, 1/4-20).

Finish: Natural SS304 (silver) or sometimes passivated for extra corrosion resistance.

Standards: DIN 985, ISO 7040, or ANSI/ASME standards.

Alternatives:

SS316 Nyloc Nut – Better corrosion resistance for harsh environments.

Metallic Lock Nuts (e.g., all-metal prevailing torque nuts) – For high-temperature applications.
