Product description

The Coats 8111055 Lock Nut is a specialized #6-32 nylon insert nut used for precision assembly on wheel balancers and tire changers. This type of fastener is critical for components that must remain securely attached despite constant mechanical vibration, such as sensor mounting brackets, wire harness clips, and small electronic panels. The nylon insert creates a prevailing torque that prevents the nut from backing off the bolt without the need for lock washers or messy thread-locking compounds. Because #6-32 hardware is often used on delicate components, a loose nut can lead to misalignment of sensors or electrical shorts. These lock nuts are generally considered one-time-use items in professional repairs, as the nylon insert wears out after removal. Installing a new lock nut ensures your precision components stay exactly where they were calibrated.
