Self-locking nuts to prevent loosening due to vibrations

Self-locking nuts incorporate a locking system that prevents the screw from loosening, even in joints subjected to vibrations, impacts or dynamic loads. Thanks to their locking system, either by nylon insert or thread deformation, they prevent the screw from loosening and reduce the need for additional safety washers, optimising assembly time and increasing the safety of the joint.

They are used in sectors such as automotive, industrial machinery, metal construction, railways and agriculture, where mechanical requirements and safety are a priority.

Types of self-locking nuts and applicable standards

  • DIN 985 (ISO 10511) self-locking hex nuts: with nylon insert that generates friction on the screw thread and ensures locking even in the presence of vibrations. Also available in fine pitch (DIN 985 FP) and in grades 8 and 10.
  • DIN 980 (ISO 7042) conical self-locking nuts: with a V-shaped conical base that presses against the support surface to prevent loosening without the need for additional washers.
  • DIN 982 (ISO 7040) high lock nuts: with increased height and slots on the top, they offer more uniform tightening and greater resistance in demanding assemblies.

In all cases, it is essential to observe the recommended tightening torque to avoid damage to the locking system and maintain the effectiveness of the fastening.

Advantages of self-locking nuts

The different types of DIN 980, 982 and 985 self-locking nuts share a number of benefits that make them a benchmark choice for professionals:

  • They prevent loosening due to vibrations or dynamic loads.
  • They reduce the need for periodic readjustments, optimising maintenance time and costs.
  • They are easy to install and remove with standard tools.
  • In many cases, they replace the use of lock washers.
