Aluminum Flanged Nyloc Lock Nuts — Anodized, M2 to M8, 11 Colors
Standard steel lock nuts add unnecessary weight and corrode over time — a real limitation in RC model builds, FPV drone frames, aviation model assemblies, and computer case mods where every gram counts and a color-matched, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. These aluminum alloy flanged nyloc lock nuts combine a nylon insert for vibration-resistant locking with a flanged base for increased bearing surface, available in 6 metric sizes from M2 to M8 and 11 anodized colors.
Each nut is machined from high-strength aluminum alloy with an anodized surface treatment for excellent corrosion resistance and rust prevention. The integrated flange distributes clamping load over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of pull-through in softer materials and eliminating the need for a separate washer in many applications. The nylon insert (nyloc) grips the bolt thread to resist loosening from vibration and dynamic loads without requiring thread-locking compounds. Tolerance: ±0.3mm.
These aluminum flanged nyloc lock nuts are widely used in RC model vehicles, FPV drone and aviation model toy assemblies, computer case and graphics card mounting, hard disk and optical drive brackets, network card and sound card installations, DIY modification projects, and any lightweight precision build where a vibration-resistant, corrosion-resistant, color-matched lock nut with a flanged base is needed.

✅ Key Features of These Aluminum Flanged Nyloc Lock Nuts
-
🔩
Nyloc Insert — Vibration-Resistant Locking Without Thread-Locking Compounds: The integrated nylon insert grips the bolt thread as the nut is tightened, creating a friction-based locking mechanism that resists loosening from vibration and dynamic loads. No thread-locking adhesive required, and the nut remains removable and reusable for maintenance and adjustment.
-
🛡️
Flanged Base — Increased Bearing Surface, No Separate Washer Needed: The integrated flange distributes clamping load over a larger contact area than a standard hex nut, reducing the risk of pull-through in softer materials such as plastic panels, thin aluminum sheet, and composite frames. Eliminates the need for a separate flat washer in many RC model and computer case applications.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flanged nyloc lock nut and how does it differ from a standard hex nut?
A flanged nyloc lock nut combines two features: a nylon insert (nyloc) that grips the bolt thread to resist loosening from vibration, and an integrated flange that distributes clamping load over a larger surface area than a standard hex nut. This eliminates the need for a separate flat washer in many applications and provides vibration-resistant locking without thread-locking adhesives.
Can these aluminum nyloc nuts be reused after removal?
Yes, nyloc nuts are generally reusable for a limited number of cycles. The nylon insert retains its locking function through several installation and removal cycles under normal use conditions. However, if the nylon insert shows visible wear or the nut no longer provides adequate resistance when threaded onto the bolt, it should be replaced.
Are these nuts suitable for high-temperature applications?
Nyloc lock nuts use a nylon insert for their locking function. Nylon typically has a temperature limit of around 120°C (248°F) under continuous load. For high-temperature applications above this range, an all-metal lock nut (such as a prevailing torque nut) is recommended instead.
Do I need a separate washer with these flanged nuts?
In many applications, the integrated flange provides sufficient bearing surface to eliminate the need for a separate flat washer. However, for very soft materials or applications requiring a specific bearing surface area, an additional washer may still be beneficial. Check your specific application requirements.
Are these nuts lighter than steel nyloc nuts?
Yes. Aluminum alloy is significantly lighter than steel — typically about one-third the weight for the same volume. These nuts are also non-magnetic, making them suitable for applications where magnetic interference must be avoided, such as near sensitive electronics or sensors in RC models and drones.
Will the anodized color fade or chip over time?
The anodized finish is integrated into the surface of the aluminum rather than applied as a paint or coating, making it generally more resistant to fading and chipping than painted alternatives under normal use conditions. Hard impacts or heavy abrasion may leave marks, as with any aluminum hardware.
What sizes are available?
These aluminum flanged nyloc lock nuts are available in M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, and M8 metric thread sizes. Select your preferred size and color from the variant options above.
