Lock Nut
The Lock Nut is designed to provide strong fastening security by preventing nuts from loosening under vibration or repeated movement. Unlike standard nuts, lock nuts feature a locking mechanism such as a nylon insert (nyloc type) or a deformed metal thread that grips the bolt tightly.
Lock nuts are commonly used in machinery, automotive components, heavy-duty equipment, steel structures, and mechanical assemblies where vibration and load shifting may cause ordinary nuts to loosen over time. They improve safety, reduce maintenance requirements, and ensure long-term reliability in fastening systems.
Lock nuts are available in different materials including carbon steel for high strength and stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance in outdoor, marine, or humid environments. Zinc plated finishes provide extra protection against rust for general industrial use.
Jamco Industrial System Limited supplies high-quality lock nuts in a wide range of sizes suitable for industrial and commercial applications across Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania.
