The basic principle and design characteristics of hard lock nut

The design of the hard lock nut includes two parts: the inner nut and the outer nut. The inner nut has a special threaded design that inserts itself into the bolt surface when tightening, providing greater friction and keeping it tight under vibration and impact. The outer nut locks and protects the inner nut, making the inner nut more secure with additional retaining force to prevent loosening by external forces ‌.


The application of Hard Lock nuts in different fields

Hard Lock nuts are widely used in many fields, including:


‌aerospace ‌ : Because mechanical equipment must withstand high frequency vibration and varying gravity loads, the use of hard lock nuts can ensure the safety and reliability of fasteners.

‌auto industry ‌ : Hard Lock nut can avoid auto parts loose, ensure the safety ‌.

‌Heavy machinery, railway and energy equipment ‌ : in these fields, Hard Lock nuts are also widely used to ensure the stable operation of equipment ‌.

Advantages and disadvantages of Hard Lock nuts

‌Advantages ‌ :

‌High safety and reliability ‌ : Hard Lock nuts maintain their strength under extreme conditions without the need for regular inspection and re-tightening ‌.

‌widely used ‌ : It has been widely used in many key fields to ensure the safety and stability of various mechanical equipment ‌.

‌Disadvantages ‌ :

‌higher cost ‌ : The cost of Hard Lock nuts is relatively high ‌ due to the complexity of their design and manufacture.
