Anti loosening nuts and lock nuts are common fastening elements used to prevent nuts from loosening during vibration or use. Although their goals are similar, there are some differences in their functionality and application methods. This article will introduce the differences between jam nuts and lock nuts, as well as their respective characteristics and application fields. Anti loosening nuts, as the name suggests, are mainly used to prevent nuts from loosening in vibration environments. They usually achieve anti loosening effect by adding elastic washers or flanges inside the nut. These additional components will increase the friction between the nut and bolt, providing a stronger connection when subjected to vibration. The installation and disassembly of the lock nut is similar to that of a regular nut and can be reused. Anti loosening nuts are suitable for occasions with relatively low requirements for looseness, such as mechanical equipment, furniture, etc. Lock nuts are mainly used in applications that require higher firmness. The locking nut adopts a special design and structure, which can provide additional pressure or friction during installation to ensure that the nut always remains tightened in a vibration environment. There are usually different types of locking nuts, such as self-locking nuts, washer type nuts, and pre tightening nuts. The common feature of these locking nuts is that they generate significant friction or tightening force between the nut and the bolt to prevent loosening. The installation and disassembly of lock nuts generally require special tools or specific operating methods. There are also differences in the usage scenarios of jam nuts and lock nuts. Lock nuts are suitable for general fixed connections, such as furniture and daily necessities. They can be easily replaced during normal maintenance and disassembly. Locking nuts are mainly used for fastening key parts, such as moving parts of mechanical equipment and important connection points in industrial machinery. Locking nuts often require preloading or pre tightening before installation to achieve the desired tightening effect.
