Technical Usage
Lock nuts with nylon inserts are used in applications requiring vibration resistance, such as machinery, automotive assemblies, and construction. They are effective for securing bolts in metal and non-metal structures and are especially suitable for outdoor or corrosive environments due to their stainless steel composition.

History
The lock nut with nylon inserts, also known as a nyloc nut, originated as a solution to prevent fastener loosening in high-vibration settings. Over time, innovations in stainless steel alloys like SS 304 enhanced its strength and corrosion resistance, making it a staple in modern construction, engineering, and manufacturing.
