Locknut
A Locknut is a vital fastening component used in hydraulic cylinder assemblies and other mechanical systems to secure threaded connections and prevent loosening under vibration or heavy operational loads. Locknuts are typically installed on piston rods, gland assemblies, or threaded forks to maintain the integrity and alignment of hydraulic components during repeated cycling.
Locknuts are designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and performance under high-pressure conditions. Some designs incorporate features such as nylon inserts, serrations, or prevailing torque mechanisms, which enhance their locking capability while allowing controlled installation and adjustment.
Locknuts are widely used where hydraulic cylinders operate under demanding conditions. By keeping threaded connections tight, locknuts reduce the risk of misalignment, leaks, or mechanical failure, ensuring safe and reliable cylinder operation.
At Hydraulic Megastore, our Locknuts are available in a range of sizes, thread types, and specifications, making them compatible with various hydraulic cylinder assemblies. Produced to strict quality standards, they offer dependable performance, long service life, and secure operation in all heavy-duty hydraulic applications.
