An Anco Lock Nut is a self-locking fastener designed to help prevent unwanted loosening of the nut during vibration, movement, or prolonged service. It uses a specially designed locking mechanism that provides controlled resistance as the nut is installed onto a bolt.
The Anco-style design incorporates a steel notched locking pin that interacts with the bolt threads as the nut is tightened. This creates a locking action that helps prevent the nut from backing off while maintaining a secure connection. Anco Lock Nuts are suitable for demanding industrial and construction applications where reliable fastening is important.
Key Features
- Self-locking design helps resist unwanted loosening.
- Steel locking pin provides controlled locking action.
- Designed to maintain reliable fastening under vibration and movement.
- Robust construction for demanding applications.
- Locking mechanism is designed to minimize potential damage to bolt threads.
- Suitable for long-term fastening applications.
- Available in standard and customized dimensions.
- Galvanized options can be supplied for enhanced corrosion resistance.
How Anco Lock Nuts Work
The locking action is created by a notched steel pin incorporated into the nut. As the Anco Lock Nut is turned onto the bolt, the locking element engages with the bolt threads and creates resistance against rotation in the loosening direction.
This design provides a secure mechanical connection while allowing the nut to be removed when required using the appropriate installation method.
