Self-locking nuts: stability and guaranteed safety
Materials, Types, and Applications of an Essential Component for Structural Integrity
The technological and industrial development of the modern world has led to the invention of self-locking nuts, which today represents the most advanced solution to prevent loosening, misalignment, or decoupling of bolted joints. Self-locking nuts have a simple yet ingenious design: their functioning principle in based on creating additional resistance against unscrewing, which ensures a stable connection over time and thus the safety of the structure. These nuts exhibit great versatility and find varied industrial applications, especially in the automotive and aerospace sectors, where vibrations and solicitations, to which the structures are subjected, require absolute joint stability.
