SL™ TRI-DENT® Prevailing Torque Locknuts

PDF page 31 · PEM Fastener Catalogue

Prevailing torque locking feature produces friction between threads of mated components thereby increasing the force needed to tighten as well as loosen the nut. Prevailing torque locknuts provide essentially the same torque value regardless of the amount axial load applied.

  • 3 cycle locking performance.(1)
  • Resistant to vibrational loosening.
  • Back side of panel is flush or sub-flush for screw installation.
  • Uses same mounting hole and installation tooling as standard S™ nuts.
  • Recommended for use in sheets HRB 80 / HB 150 or less.
