Hexagon Castellated Self-Locking Nut

A Hexagon Castellated Self-Locking Nut is a type of nut that is used to secure bolts or screws in place. It is designed with a hexagonal shape, which allows for easy tightening and loosening using a wrench or socket.

The "castellated" feature refers to the presence of slots or notches on the top surface of the nut. These slots are evenly spaced around the circumference of the nut and are used to accommodate a cotter pin or a split pin. When the nut is tightened, the slots align with a hole in the bolt or screw, and the cotter pin or split pin is inserted through the slots to prevent the nut from loosening.

The "self-locking" feature means that the nut has a built-in mechanism to resist loosening due to vibrations or other external forces. This is typically achieved through the use of a nylon insert or a metal locking feature within the nut. The self-locking feature ensures that the nut remains securely fastened in place, even in demanding applications.

Hexagon Castellated Self-Locking Nuts are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and machinery. They provide a reliable and secure fastening solution, especially in applications where vibration or movement may cause traditional nuts to loosen over time.

In the supply class Nuts And Washers, Hexagon Castellated Self-Locking Nuts are categorized as a type of nut, specifically designed to provide both secure fastening and resistance to loosening. They are part of the supply group Hardware And Abrasives, which includes various hardware components and abrasive materials used in different industries.
