What is Precision Lock Nuts

Precision lock nuts are used to secure rotating parts. They are made of hardened and heat-treated alloy steel and are usually finished in black oxide to resist corrosion. These nuts are specified in both metric and English units, and have various dimensional specifications. These include major thread diameter, locking face diameter, overall locknut diameter, and bearing bore size. They may also include slots and holes on the periphery. Some are produced to meet shaft tolerance standards.

IBC high precision locknuts feature fine threads. This ensures permanent strength, as these are manufactured within tight tolerances. They are also designed to maintain the shaft's cross-section while ensuring optimum fit. They also feature ISO basic tolerance IT3 and are available in various configurations. In addition to being durable, precision lock nuts are easy to mount and locate.
