Metric DIN 980 All Metal Prevailing Torque Type Hex Lock Nuts are also known as Stover Lock Nut, Top Lock Nut, Crimped Lock Nut, Oval Lock Nut. They are a one piece all metal prevailing torque type hex lock nut having a conical top with chamfered corners. The resistance to loosening forces is created by distortion in the top threads. These lock nuts are considered as one-way because they can only be installed one way – top up. Since they are all-metal, they are more resistant to higher temperatures and chemical exposure than non-metallic lock nuts (such as nylon insert lock nuts). They achieve their prevailing torque by distorting the threads of the nut which then bites into the mating part when tightened.
