Metric DIN 985 nylon insert lock nuts low profile are prevailing torque type lock nuts which have a permanent undersized non metallic insert (nylon/polyamide) that produces friction between threads of mated components thereby increasing the resistance to loosening forces. Nylon insert lock nuts may be re-used a limited number of times because the threads of the mating bolt deform but do not cut into the polymer insert. These nuts are considered one-way lock nuts because they can only be installed one-way—top up. The nylon insert limits the use at elevated temperatures or when exposed to certain chemicals.
