VIDEO & CENTER
Correct Installation: Ensure the lock nut is fully threaded and tightened to the specified torque to prevent loosening. Avoid Over-Tightening: Excessive force can damage threads or reduce the locking effect. Thread Condition: Clean and inspect threads for damage before installation. Reuse Limits: Discard deformed or worn lock nuts (e.g., nylon-insert or metal-distortion types) after removal. Compatibility: Match the lock nut type (e.g., nylon, metal, or serrated) with the application and environment. Lubrication: Use minimal lubrication if needed, but avoid oils with nylon inserts. Vibration Resistance: For high-vibration areas, use appropriate locking mechanisms (e.g., double nuts or thread-locking fluid). Regular Checks: Periodically inspect for loosening or wear.
