DIN6926
Elastic Deformation Locking: As the mating bolt thread passes through the unthreaded nylon insert, the polymer elastically deforms rather than cuts, creating continuous radial friction along the thread flanks.
Vibration & Shock Resistance: Effectively resists back-off caused by transverse vibration, rotational shocks, and thermal expansion cycles.
Reusable Locking Action: The elastic nature of the nylon ring allows multiple re-installations while retaining substantial prevailing torque (recommended inspection after repeat assemblies).
Optimized Pressure Distribution: The wide circular flange acts as an integrated washer, distributing clamping stress over a larger contact surface to protect mating components from surface indentation.
Oversized / Slotted Hole Bridging: Spans oversized or slotted clearance holes securely, preventing pull-through.
Assembly Efficiency: One-piece design eliminates loose washers, preventing assembly errors, reducing inventory SKUs, and speeding up high-volume production lines.
Unlike all-metal prevailing torque nuts that deform steel threads, the nylon insert prevents galling and damage to bolt threads, preserving the integrity of both internal and external threads.

A: While both feature a nylon insert for prevailing torque locking, DIN 6926 includes an integrated flanged base, whereas DIN 985 is a standard hexagon profile requiring a separate washer. DIN 6926 spreads the clamping load over a larger area, reduces assembly steps, and provides higher stability on slotted holes.
A: The standard polyamide (Nylon 66) insert performs reliably between -50°C and +120°C (-58°F to +248°F). For applications exceeding 120°C, all-metal prevailing torque lock nuts (such as DIN 6927 or DIN 980) should be specified.
A: Yes, the elastic recovery of the nylon ring permits multiple installations. However, prevailing torque decreases slightly with each reuse. For critical safety or high-vibration applications, replacing lock nuts during major maintenance overhauls is standard industry practice.
A: No additional lubricant is required. Standard plated finishes provide sufficient lubricity. When tightening, always follow specified assembly torque values and avoid high-speed impact wrenches that could generate excessive friction heat in the nylon insert.
A: Yes. In addition to standard metric coarse sizes (M5–M20 in Class 8 and 10), we support fine pitch threads, stainless steel (A2/A4), special plating finishes, and custom OEM packaging according to customer drawings and technical specifications.
