Product Overview

Nylon insert self locking nuts are manufactured by Zhejiang Chance & Union Import and Export Co., Ltd. with a nylon collar embedded in the nut body. The nylon insert deforms when a bolt is threaded in, creating prevailing torque that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loading. These nuts are produced from carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and brass, with metric and imperial thread options. Production processes include cold heading, tapping, and insert assembly. The product line covers hex lock nuts, flange lock nuts, and non-standard custom locking nuts. Supported by a 33,350 m² facility and an annual production capacity of 9,500 tons, we supply OEM and ODM orders to more than 25 countries.

Core Advantages

01

Nylon Insert Control

Insert dimensions and material grades are controlled to maintain consistent prevailing torque across production batches.

02

Thread Accuracy

Tapping and thread gauging are performed to match class 6H and 2B tolerance requirements.

03

Heat Treatment and Plating

Quenching, tempering, and surface treatments are selected according to strength class and environmental exposure.

04

Production Capacity

Cold heading lines and automated insert assembly support high-volume orders with a 9,500-ton annual capacity.

05

Quality System

ISO9001 and IATF16949 certified processes with digital traceability from raw material to final inspection.

06

Service Response

Application Areas

Automotive

Chassis, suspension, exhaust, and battery pack assemblies subject to road vibration.

Industrial Machinery

Conveyors, pumps, compressors, and rotating equipment where fasteners must remain seated.

Electrical Equipment

Control panels, switchgear, and enclosures exposed to continuous low-amplitude vibration.

Agricultural Machinery

Tractors, harvesters, and implements operating under repeated shock and vibration loads.

Furniture and Appliances

Frames, hinges, and moving parts where thread loosening would affect function.

Renewable Energy

Solar tracking mounts and wind turbine access platforms subject to wind-induced vibration.

Usage Notes

Nylon insert lock nuts are intended for one-time use. The prevailing torque decreases after repeated installation and removal.

Operating temperature should be checked against the nylon insert grade. Prolonged exposure above the rated range may reduce locking performance.

Lock nuts should be installed with the nylon insert facing the mating part. Reversing the nut reduces or eliminates the prevailing torque effect.

Thread lubrication and installation speed can affect prevailing torque values. Controlled assembly is recommended for critical joints.

Storage in dry conditions is advised. Moisture and contaminants on the nylon insert may affect locking characteristics.
