High-quality 304 stainless steel material: the selected 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, and this combination of components gives it excellent corrosion resistance, able to resist the erosion of humidity, acid and alkali, salt spray and other harsh environments. Whether in outdoor industrial facilities, humid workshops, or the interior of precision instruments that require high levels of corrosion protection, the structural integrity and performance stability of the nut can be maintained, effectively extending its service life, reducing maintenance costs and the frequency of replacement, and providing a long-lasting and reliable connection for your project.
2. Unique K-type design: The core highlight of this product is its unique K-type design. This design has a special anti-loosening structure at the top of the nut, which forms a strong resistance when closely matched with the bolt, effectively preventing the nut from loosening during vibration, impact, temperature change or long-term use. Compared with conventional nuts, K-nuts have a significant advantage in locking performance, ensuring the tightness of critical joints, greatly improving the safety and stability of equipment operation, especially for industrial and professional applications that require high precision and reliability.
3. Accurate dimensional specifications: Every size from #4 to 5/16 is manufactured in strict compliance with international standards and industry norms to ensure that the dimensional accuracy of the nuts reaches an extremely high level. Whether it is the outer diameter, inner diameter, thickness or thread parameters, they are all precisely measured and strictly controlled, and work closely with the corresponding bolts, the installation process is smooth and fluent, avoiding installation difficulties, loose connections or leakage caused by dimensional deviations, improving work efficiency and project quality, and making your assembly work more accurate and efficient.
GOOD MECHANICAL PROPERTIES: 304 stainless steel gives the nut excellent mechanical properties with high strength and toughness. It performs excellently in withstanding various tensile, pressure and shear forces, and can meet the stringent requirements for connecting parts in different industrial and professional projects. Whether it is used to fix the key components of heavy machinery, connect the fine structure of precision instruments, or install the connecting parts of industrial pipelines, it can provide reliable support and fastening force, ensure the safe and stable operation of the whole system, and withstand the various tests under complex working conditions.

1.Mechanical repair and maintenance: In the repair and maintenance process of all kinds of mechanical equipment, such as automobile engines, industrial machine tools, agricultural machinery, etc., 304 stainless steel K lock nuts can be used to fix the key parts, such as engine cylinder heads, machine tool fixtures, mechanical transmission parts, etc.. Its strong anti-loosening performance can ensure that the nut will not be loosened due to vibration and impact during the operation of the equipment, avoiding the parts from falling off or displacement, so as to protect the normal operation of the equipment, reduce the probability of failure, improve production efficiency, reduce maintenance costs and downtime, and provide strong support for the production and operation of the enterprise.
2. Precision instrument manufacturing: For precision instruments, such as optical instruments, electronic measuring equipment, medical equipment, etc., the connection accuracy and stability of parts are highly required. The high-precision dimensions and excellent anti-loosening characteristics of this nut make it an ideal choice for fixing key parts of the instrument such as the housing, internal optical components, and circuit board brackets. In the event of slight vibration, temperature changes or frequent handling of the instrument, the K Lock Nut can keep the connection tight and ensure that the accuracy and performance of the instrument will not be affected, providing a reliable guarantee for precision measurements and experiments, and helping to improve the accuracy and reliability of scientific research and production.
3.Industrial equipment installation: In the installation of industrial production line equipment, such as chemical equipment, food processing equipment, power equipment, etc., 304 stainless steel K lock nuts play an important role. Used for connecting pipelines, valves, pump bodies, motor seats and other components, its corrosion resistance can adapt to various chemical media and humid conditions in the industrial environment, preventing the nut from rusting and corrosion resulting in leakage and equipment damage. At the same time, the strong anti-loosening ability to ensure the reliability of the connection of the equipment in the long-term operation and vibration environment, to protect the safe and stable operation of the production line, improve the continuity and stability of production, to create greater economic benefits for the enterprise.
4. Product use instructions
1. Choose the right specification: According to the size of the bolts used in your project and the specific application scenario, carefully select the right specification of 304 stainless steel K-lock nuts. Make sure that the thread specification of the nut matches the bolt exactly, and also consider whether the size of the nut meets the requirements of installation space and load capacity. You can refer to the design drawings of the equipment, technical manuals or consult professional engineers for accurate specification selection suggestions to ensure that the nuts can perform the best fastening effect in the project.
2. Preparation before installation: Before installing the nuts, be sure to thoroughly clean the surface of the connected parts, remove oil, dust, rust and other impurities, and ensure that the surface is flat, smooth and dry. Use appropriate cleaners and tools for cleaning, for rusted parts, sandpaper or wire brush can be used to remove rust. At the same time, check whether the threads of the bolts are intact and undamaged, and replace them in time if they are damaged. In addition, confirm that the pre-opened hole size of the connected parts meets the requirements, and the hole wall should be smooth and burr-free, so as not to affect the installation and tightening effect of the nut.
3. Installation method: align the nut with the threaded end of the bolt, and gently screw in a few turns by hand to make the threads initially bite. Then, choose a suitable tool, such as a wrench or socket wrench (select the appropriate specification according to the size of the nut), and tighten the nut gradually in a clockwise direction. During the tightening process, apply force evenly to avoid excessive force on one side resulting in thread damage or deformation of the connected parts. For critical connection parts, it is recommended to use a torque wrench and tighten in accordance with the specified torque value to ensure that the tightening force of the nut meets the requirements, while avoiding over-tightening. When the nut is tightened to a certain degree, the K-type structure will fit tightly to the bolt and produce a reliable anti-loosening effect. If you are unsure of the proper tightening force, refer to the relevant industry standards, equipment manufacturer's recommendations or consult a professional technician.
4. Inspection and maintenance: After completing the installation of the nuts, carefully check whether the connection parts are firm and whether the nuts are tightened in place. The stability of the connection can be verified by visual inspection, manual wiggling or the use of specialized testing tools. During the daily operation of the equipment, check the tightness of the nuts regularly, especially after the equipment has been subjected to large vibrations, shocks or has experienced high temperatures, humidity and other harsh environments. If the nut is found to have signs of loosening, it should be tightened in a timely manner; if the surface of the nut appears to be slightly rusted or stained, you can use a clean cloth dipped in the appropriate amount of stainless steel cleaner or neutral detergent to wipe and clean, to maintain the good appearance and performance of the nut. Avoid the use of cleaners containing chlorine ions, so as not to cause corrosion of stainless steel.
