Description

Conquest 5/16"-18 Grade C NE Nylon Insert Locknut – UNC, Plain

The Conquest 5/16"-18 Grade C NE Nylon Insert Locknut is a premium fastener engineered to resist loosening in applications exposed to vibration, movement, or intermittent shock loads. Forged from hardened Grade C steel and fitted with a precision nylon insert, this locknut provides increased friction against mating threads to help maintain torque and clamping force. Its coarse 18 TPI UNC thread profile makes it ideal for general‑purpose assemblies that rely on secure, confident fastening where traditional nuts may back off over time.

Coarse-Thread Locknut Built for Dynamic Mechanical Environments

Designed with performance and reliability in mind, this locknut is finished plain — making it best suited for clean, dry indoor applications where corrosion is not a primary factor. The nylon insert creates a frictional locking action that holds steady under equipment vibration or repetitive load changes. Whether you’re securing conveyor frames, machinery brackets, service panels, or structural supports, this locknut delivers dependable holding power and peace of mind in environments where loosening could lead to costly downtime.

Key Features

  • Nylon Locking Mechanism: The built‑in nylon ring generates friction against bolt threads to help prevent loosening due to vibration or movement.
  • Grade C Strength: Heat‑treated carbon steel construction improves torque performance and load tolerance over standard nuts.
  • Thread Type/TPI: 5/16"-18 UNC coarse threads provide strong engagement for general‑purpose fastening.
  • Plain Finish: A clean, uncoated surface ideal for dry, indoor environments where corrosion resistance is not required.
  • Secure Fit: Designed to reliably maintain clamping force without damaging mating hardware.

Applications

  • Indoor machinery and moving equipment fastening
  • Industrial HVAC frames and ducting supports
  • Conveyor assemblies and access panels
  • Framing and structural bolting in non‑corrosive environments
  • Maintenance, retrofit, and mechanical systems needing anti‑loosening performance

Installation Tips

  • Start threading by hand to ensure proper alignment and protect the nylon insert from damage.
  • Use standard calibrated torque tools to tighten to the proper specification.
  • Ensure mating bolt or threaded rod is clean and free of debris for optimal locking action.
