Metalmate M10 Type T Nylon Insert Nuts, Zinc Plated, Box of 200

Metalmate Type T nylon insert nuts are specialised locking fasteners designed to prevent loosening under vibration and dynamic loads. The M10 size refers to the metric thread diameter, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, and construction applications where reliable, secure connections are essential. Their primary function is to maintain clamping force in assemblies that experience movement or stress. These nuts are manufactured from Class 6 steel, providing high tensile strength and durability. The zinc-plated finish offers a layer of protection against corrosion, extending the component's life in various environments. The key feature is the nylon insert (or collar) embedded in the top of the nut. As the nut is tightened onto a bolt, the threads deform the nylon, creating significant frictional resistance that locks the nut in position. This design is reusable for several cycles, though its locking efficiency may diminish with repeated use. This product is best suited for maintenance engineers, mechanics, and serious DIY enthusiasts working on machinery, vehicle components, or structural frameworks where vibration is a concern. The box of 200 pieces provides ample supply for production lines, workshop use, or larger projects, offering convenience and value. They are a practical upgrade over standard nuts for any application demanding a more secure, vibration-resistant fastening solution without the need for additional locking washers or thread-locking compounds.
