    Prevailing Torque Locknut Technical Specifications

    Uploaded by

    Liu Yangtze
    This document discusses prevailing-torque type steel hex and hex flange nuts. It provides three key points: 1) The nuts have scientifically displaced threads that ovalize and deflect out of their helical configuration, creating a spring-like locking element that grips the bolt threads firmly. 2) Different grades (A, B, C, F, G) of nuts are designed to be compatible with bolts of specified tensile strengths. 3) The nuts are identified by grade markings that indicate the manufacturer and specifications such as required proof load stress and hardness based on nut size.

    PREVAILING-TORQUE TYPE STEEL

    HEX AND HEX FLANGE NUTS TECHNICAL


    How do they work . . .
    The top thread section of the nuts is scientifically displaced at two or three opposing areas. This
    displacement or deflection ovalizes the top threads of the nut and deflects these threads out of their helical
    configuration. The nature of this locking element is such that it remains spring-like through repeated
    applications and severe shock loads. The locking element firmly grips the flank, root and crest of the
    mating bolt threads.
    The resulting compression grip forces metal-to-metal contact between the nut and bolt threads. This
    friction grip assures that the nut will stay “put” anywhere on the bolt and maintain the pre-set torque-
    tension relationship.
    The Locknut starts freely on a bolt or stud like a common nut until the deflected thread portion is reached;
    then, it requires wrenching to final position anywhere on the mating part.

    NUT/BOLT COMPATIBILITY
    Nut/Bolt Compatibility Specified Min
    There are three grades of prevailing-torque type Grade of Nut Ultimate Tensile Strength
    steel hex nuts designated as Grades A, B and C, of Bolt, ksi
    respectively. There are two grades of prevailing-
    torque type steel hex flange nuts designated, Grade A not greater than 90
    respectively, as Grades F and G.
    Grades B and F not greater than 120
    Each grade of nut is suggested for use with
    externally threaded components having specified not less than 105,
    minimum tensile strengths within the following Grade C
    nor greater than 150
    values:
    not less than 120,
    Grade G
    nor greater than 150
