Hexagon Nylon Locking Nuts, also known as DIN 985 nuts, are a type of fastener commonly used in various applications where vibration resistance and secure fastening are essential.

The nylon insert is usually located within the nut and serves as a locking mechanism. It creates friction against the mating threads, providing resistance to vibration and preventing the nut from loosening unintentionally.

These nuts are particularly useful in applications where there is a risk of vibration that could cause standard nuts to loosen over time. The nylon insert helps maintain a secure connection.

Frank's Fasteners provides Hexagon Nylon Locking Nuts in A2/304 Stainless Steel, A4/316 Stainless Steel and Zinc Plated Steel.
