A Nut, M12 Hex, Nyloc is a specific type of nut used in mechanical and structural applications. Here's a breakdown of its characteristics:
Key Specifications:
M12: Refers to the thread size, meaning the nut is designed to fit a bolt or screw that has a 12mm diameter.
Hex: Indicates that the nut is hexagonal in shape, meaning it has six flat sides for easy gripping with a wrench or socket.
Nyloc: Refers to the nylon insert inside the nut. The nylon insert creates friction when the nut is tightened onto a bolt, helping prevent the nut from loosening due to vibrations or movement. It essentially "locks" the nut in place, providing a more secure fastening.
Common Features:
Material: Typically made from steel, stainless steel, or other durable materials. For corrosion resistance, stainless steel Nyloc nuts are commonly used.
Prevents Loosening: The nylon insert is designed to grip the bolt threads, preventing the nut from backing off over time.
