Bearing (also referred to as shaft nuts) locknuts provide a positive rotational lock on rotating bearing shafts. They provide resistance against vibration and are also used when precise torque settings are needed. These nuts use a thin round nut in combination with a tab-lock washer and can be self-locking or non-locking. The nut is tightened by use of the external slots.
BEARING2_isolated.jpgThese nut types are ideal for sheet metal applications where an anchor nut can not be used due to size and mounting options. The Clinch and Stake nuts allow for blind applications and are pressed in to the sheet material allowing cold flow which keeps the nut in place.
K-Fast™ nuts are high strength, vibration-resistant, self-locking fasteners that offer fast, reliable and repetitive installations with K-Fast™ tooling. Many lightweight designs are available, and features include self- sealing; self- aligning; and a counterbore that accommodates variations in structure thickness and oversize repair fasteners. The K-Fast™ nuts can be spindled for use in automatic tools.
