6-32 Flex Type Lock Nut Full Height 18-8 Stainless Steel (Pack Qty 250) BC-06NXL188

Flex Type Lock Nut Full Height 18-8 Stainless Steel

An all-metal, one-piece, hex-shaped lock nut with a round collar at its back end. The collar is segmented with opposed slots cut into it above each corner of the nut. When the screw or bolt reaches the collar, the slotted portion expands which creates the prevailing torque locking action. The light hex variety has a lesser across the flats dimension resulting in a lighter-weight part with the same strength as a heavy hex variety.
