Nylon Self-Locking Acorn Nut

Description

Also known as cap nuts, Acorn Nuts cover exposed threads and provide a finished appearance. To prevent loosening due to vibration, these nuts have distorted threads to ensure a tight fit. Hex drive systems are driven with a wrench.

Nylon 6/6 is a general purpose thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to organic chemicals, acids and alkalis. Nylon wears well against other surfaces; it is readily machinable and may be milled, turned and cut with conventional machine tools. It does exhibit some dimensional swelling in wet applications which should be taken into account with its use. Tensile strength of this material is 12,000 psi (pounds per square inch).

A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine.
