The Nylock Nut is a specialised locking fastener used in hydraulic cylinder assemblies and other mechanical systems to prevent loosening due to vibration, movement, or pressure variations. Featuring a nylon insert, this nut grips the threads of a bolt or rod, providing reliable resistance against rotation while maintaining ease of installation and adjustment.
Nylock nuts are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and performance under heavy-duty conditions. The nylon insert maintains tension even under repeated cycles, ensuring that threaded connections—such as those found on glands, forks, and rod ends—remain secure throughout the operational life of the cylinder.
Nylock nuts are widely used where safety and reliability are critical. Their self-locking feature helps protect against mechanical failure, fluid leaks, or misalignment caused by unsecured fasteners.
At Hydraulic Megastore, our Nylock Nuts are available in a variety of sizes and thread types, making them compatible with a wide range of hydraulic cylinder components. Manufactured to strict quality and industry standards, they provide dependable performance, long-lasting durability, and peace of mind in demanding hydraulic applications.
