VIBRATION SOLUTIONS Australian Distributors for Security Locknut Inc. Worlds Strongest Locknut
Unique - One Part / Two Piece Design Security Locknuts are designed so that the insert raises away from the nut body upon application. This creates “isolation” from the load where the nut body carries the load and the insert does the locking, regardless of your ability to achieve “perfect” preload. Metal locking insert made with proprietary metal and processing techniques for maximum performance Locking insert pressed into the nut body and ready for installation on a bolt Industry standard nut body with features for locking insert
Unique - One Part / Two Piece Design Locking insert lifts and separates from the main nut body on the base and side walls when the bolt is installed. This separation isolates the clamping load from the locking function

NASM 1312-7 Vibration Test • Initial Test Results: • The Security Locknut performs better than or equal to all other prevailing torque locknuts at preventing joint loosening (other products tested include Nyloc, 3-point deformed, and Flexloc). • The Security Locknut out performs all other locknuts by staying securely connected the bolt after the initial tension is lost. This has proved to be a significant benefit on installations where complete separation of the nut and bolt would cause machinery down time or a potential safety issue. • Follow up Testing and Product Development: • After detailed examination of locknut conditions required to maintain maximum bolt tension under heavy vibration conditions we were able to isolated design parameters that had the most significant impact. Follow up design changes on select products produced results on the vibration test that exceed all other products tested. 3/4x10 run for 30,000 cycles 1st test – new nut (all products) Test run with nut reused from 1st test 3-point deformed Security Locknut Nyloc Flexloc
