What is DIN 985 nut?
Hexagon nut
Prevailing torque type nut manufactured to DIN 985. Popularly employed Hexagon nut incorporating a nylon insert to help prevent loosening when fitted. This is the standard profile variant (Type T), a higher profile option is available under DIN 982 (Type P). Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket.
What is the difference between DIN 982 and DIN 985?
DIN 982 is similar in dimensions to DIN 985 except that the total height of DIN 982 nuts a greater. 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.
How does a Nyloc nut work?
Nyloc nuts feature a nylon collar in the top portion of the nut that locks the nut in place by essentially squeezing the threads of the bolt as the nut is tightened. In scientific terms, the friction that is created by the radial compressive force of the nut turning against the thread prevents it from loosening.
What is a Type T Nyloc nut?
Prevailing torque type nut manufactured to DIN 985. Popularly employed Hexagon nut incorporating a nylon insert to help prevent loosening when fitted. This is the standard profile variant (Type T), a higher profile option is available under DIN 982 (Type P). Typically fitted with a spanner or ratchet with socket.
Can you reuse Nyloc nuts?
Nylock nuts are the most common and inexpensive self-locking aircraft nuts. These elastic insert nuts are inexpensive and almost infinitely reusable.
Can you torque Nyloc nuts?
Typically there are the “Nylock” or elastic stop nuts, and the “all-metal” lock nuts. The rule of thumb is to add the prevailing torque to the torque value when applying torque to a Nylock nut. This is because the prevailing torque doesn’t contribute to bolt tightening. It is just friction that needs to be overcome.
What is difference between type P and type T nuts?
The ‘P’ and ‘T’ designations refer to the “depth” of the nut. ‘P’ Type are referred to as ‘Full’ ‘T’ Type are fererred to as ‘Thin’ This designation is used for all thread and material types.
How do you torque Nylock nuts?
How do you remove Nyloc nuts?
Just put a good closed-end wrench on the nut, hold the other end with another wrench or screwdriver, if it’s a free bolt, and turn it counter-clockwise, looking at the nut from the end. It will take a surprising amount of force to reverse these nuts, until they are almost all of the way off.
Do Nylock nuts need to be torqued?
Usually nuts are free spinning, but Nylock nuts have a plastic patch that causes resistance to nut turning. This resistance is called “prevailing torque”. Prevailing torque is the torque required to turn the nut. None of the prevailing torque goes toward tightening the bolt.
Does the nylon in a Nylock nut make it maintain torque?
Nylock adds a secondary retention to the nut. The primary is torque. If the material is a grade 5 nut as others have suggested then use correct torque for the material. The Nylock is to resist loosening from high vibration environment that could loosen a nut with only torque load.
Is it possible to issue Din 985 with revisions?
It was therefore decided to issue DIN 985 with revisions but without further qualification as to its application. The feasibility of international standardization of property classes 04 and 05 for prevailing torque type thin nuts is currently being investigated.
