NTE nylon insert lock nut is a self-locking fastener with a nylon collar in the internal threads. When it is screwed onto the bolt, the nylon locks the threads and the nut is not likely to loosen easily when there is vibration or movement.
The NTE nylon insert lock nut is made of materials such as zinc-plated steel or stainless steel, it’s designed for machinery, vehicles, or equipment where reliability matters. Unlike regular nuts, the NTE nylon insert lock nut doesn’t require extra lock washers or adhesives—it locks on its own. It’s simple to install, reusable (within limits), and works in both industrial setups and everyday repairs.
Use the NTE nylon insert lock nut to secure parts that shake or move. Examples: fastening motorcycle footpegs, keeping conveyor belt rollers in place, or assembling office chairs with adjustable parts. It’s also handy for outdoor equipment like garden trailers or bike racks, where bumps and weather could loosen standard nuts. In home workshops, it’s great for fixing wobbly tables or securing power tool components that vibrate during use.
You’ll see the NTE nylon insert lock nut in automotive manufacturing (engine mounts, suspension parts), HVAC systems (securing fan blades or ductwork), and consumer goods like washing machines or exercise bikes. It’s also common in agricultural machinery, bicycles, and electronics assembly—anywhere vibrations or frequent adjustments could loosen regular nuts.
