Hex Jam Nut for Loosening Resistance Under Vibrations & Torque

Hydraulic Fitting Catalogue

A hex jam nut resists loosening under vibrations and torque. Prevailing torque nuts have a portion of the nut that elastically deforms to provide a locking action. Free-spinning hex jam nuts exist that carry the advantage of not requiring extra torque until seated.

Uniquely shaped threads inside the hex jam nuts provide vibration-resistant friction and do not easily loosen when placed on bolts. This makes them useful for holding wheels on axles, or in automotive engines where machine vibration would otherwise loosen the fastener.

Hex jam nuts have a wide range of uses in industrial and residential applications, from automotive repair projects to furniture assembly. They provide strong connections between components as they create a uniform pressure distribution around their mating surfaces when tightened correctly; this helps ensure secure connections that can withstand heavy loads without loosening over time. In addition, these fasteners have excellent corrosion resistance, which makes them ideal for outdoor projects where they will be exposed to moisture or other corrosive elements over time.
