Lock nuts are commonly used in machinery and various industries because of their ability to self-lock using friction between the nut and the bolt. However, the self-locking reliability of the lock nut will be reduced under dynamic load. In order to ensure the reliability of nut locking in critical situations, additional anti-loosening measures are taken. These measures can include the use of additional locking mechanisms such as spring washers, cotter pins, or adhesive thread locking compounds. These anti-loosening measures increase the vibration resistance and prevent the nut from loosening accidentally. By adopting these measures, the integrity of the lock nut can be maintained, ensuring the stability and safety of the machinery or equipment in various applications.
