Featured Nylok Products
Nylok Blue Nylon Strip
Nylok Torq-Strip self-locking elements are permanently embedded in the threads of a fastener. When mating threads are engaged, the tough, resilient Blue nylon element is compressed and a counter-force is created to establish a much stronger contact and positive resistance to vibration and loosening.
A Nylok Torq-Strip self-locking element can be applied to your own fasteners, or ready-to-install self-locking fasteners can be supplied to meet your specifications. Screws as small as #00-90 (M1.2) can be processed and these Nylok self-locking elements can be applied with equal effectiveness to larger diameter fasteners.Nylok Torq-Patch Locknut
Nylok Torq-Patch Locknut is a self-locking element comprised of nylon permanently bonded into the threads of a nut. When the Nylok Torq-Patch Locknut is engaged, it creates a wedge between the nut and mating part compressing the nylon and creating metal to metal contact opposite the patch. This metal to metal contact results in a positive resistance to vibration and loosening. Since nylon has great memory characteristics, this locking element can be reused several times.
