DIN 985 Hexagon Nylon Insert Lock Nuts – Stainless Steel A2 (SUS304)
FULLERKREG DIN 985 nylon insert lock nuts are precision-manufactured to DIN 985 / ISO 7042 standard in stainless steel A2 (SUS304 / 1.4301). The integrated nylon collar creates a friction lock that resists loosening under vibration and dynamic loads — without damaging the mating thread. Ideal for corrosion-sensitive assemblies in marine, food processing, chemical, and outdoor structural applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can DIN 985 nylon lock nuts be reused?
A: They can be reused a limited number of times. However, for critical safety applications, single-use is recommended as the nylon insert loses clamping effectiveness after repeated cycling.
Q: What is the difference between DIN 985 and DIN 982?
A: DIN 985 is a thin (low-profile) nylon insert lock nut, while DIN 982 is the full-height version. DIN 985 is suitable for space-constrained assemblies; DIN 982 provides higher prevailing torque.
Q: Are these suitable for high-temperature environments?
A: The nylon insert is rated for -73°C to +120°C. For applications above 120°C, consider all-metal prevailing torque nuts (e.g., DIN 980).
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill test certificates (MTC) and RoHS declarations are available upon request for all orders.
