M6 A4 Stainless steel prevailing torque self lock nut DIN980

General description Prevailing torque self-locking nuts are designed to provide a secure fastening solution without the need for additional inserts. The M6 A4 Grade Stainless Steel Prevailing Torque Nut (DIN 980) offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various applications, particularly in marine environments where exposure to saltwater is a concern. Technical specifications Material: A4 Grade Stainless Steel (Type 316 S31) Thread size: M6 Thread pitch: 1.0 mm Minimum thickness (m): 4.7 mm Minimum point to point distance (e): 11.05 mm Across flats (s): 10 mm Usage Prevailing torque nuts are ideal for applications where a secure, one-time fastening is required. They function by slightly deforming the thread upon installation, which locks the nut in place. However, they are considered single-use items; if removal is necessary, alternative designs such as Aerotight should be considered.
