PREVAILING TORQUE METRIC HEX LOCK NUT (WITH NYLON INSERT) DIMENSIONS

Prevailing Torque Metric Hex Lock Nut (with nylon insert) Dimensions Chart according to ISO 7040 and ISO 7041 standards.

Some important notes from the ISO standards:

- ISO 7040 specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque type hexagon lock nuts (with nylon insert), style 1, with threads from M3 up to and including M36, with product grade A for threads d ≤ M16 and product grade B for threads d > M16.

- Mechanical properties of ISO 7040 hex lock nuts: Steel - Property class 5, 8, 10.

- ISO 7041 specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque type hexagon nuts (with nylon annular insert), style 2, with threads from M5 up to and including M36, with product grade A for threads d ≤ M16 and product grade B for threads d > M16.

- Mechanical properties of ISO 7041 hex lock nuts: Steel - Property class 9 and 12.

- ISO 10512 specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque type hexagon nuts (with nylon insert), style 1, with metric fine pitch thread with nominal thread diameters d from 8 mm up to and including 36 mm, with product grade A for threads d ≤ M16 and product grade B for threads d > M16.

- Mechanical properties of ISO 10512 hex lock nuts: Steel - Property class 6, 8 and 10. (Note: For d > 16 mm, property class 10 is not specified.)
