A locking nut or clamp is a mechanical fastener used to secure components in adjustment mechanisms by preventing unintended loosening due to vibration or dynamic loads.
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Thread Size | M6 to M30 or equivalent imperial sizes | |
| Torque Range | 10-200 Nm depending on size and material | |
| Locking Mechanism | Nylon insert, all-metal prevailing torque, or clamp-style | |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +250°C for standard materials |
Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is used in the following industrial products

Manufacturer profiles associated with Locking Nut or Clamp.
Explore company information and manufacturing capabilities, then discuss the scope of your project with a relevant supplier.
A locking nut incorporates features like nylon inserts, serrated faces, or prevailing torque designs to resist loosening from vibration, whereas a standard nut relies solely on thread friction and may require additional measures like lock washers.
Consider factors such as load requirements, environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, corrosion), vibration levels, thread size, and compliance with industry standards like ISO or DIN to ensure reliability and safety.
