Product description

The 5/16-18 Nylon Insert Lock Nut is a specialized fastener designed to stay secure in high-vibration applications on Coats tire changers. It features a built-in nylon ring that creates friction against the bolt threads, preventing the nut from backing off even during constant machine cycling. This is a critical safety and maintenance component for pneumatic cylinder linkages and pedal assemblies that move thousands of times per week. Standard nuts can easily vibrate loose in these areas, leading to mechanical slop or total disconnection. Replacing old or worn lock nuts with fresh ones ensures that your machine's moving parts stay tight and responsive. This simple upgrade helps prevent unexpected downtime and extends the life of your equipment's mechanical connections.

Product highlights

• Vibration Resistance: Integrated nylon insert provides a superior grip that resists self-loosening.
• Secure Fastening: Ideal for moving linkages where standard nuts would fail over time.
• Zinc Coated Steel: Provides a durable barrier against rust and shop environmental hazards.
• Standard 5/16-18 Thread: Fits a wide variety of secondary mechanical assemblies on Coats machines.
