Typically there are the “Nylock” or elastic stop nuts, and the “all-metal” lock nuts. The rule of thumb is to add the prevailing torque to the torque value when applying torque to a Nylock nut. This is because the prevailing torque doesn’t contribute to bolt tightening. It is just friction that needs to be overcome.
Can you torque nylon nuts?
When tightening screws into Nyloc Nuts the force required to tighten the screws will double, when the screw reaches the Nylon in the nut. You must keep on tightening and you will see the end of the screw come through the end of the nut. Tighten with your full strength.
How do you fasten Nyloc nuts?
Nyloc nuts should be threaded onto the bolt or stud and tightened by hand until resistance is felt. Continue tightening through this resistance with a spanner or socket until the nut seats firmly against the surface of the object that you are securing.
