ABSTRACT

Following some basic definitions of terms in Section 2 and a general description of types of vibration-resistant fasteners in Section 3, Section 4 presents data on fasteners with external threads whose locking mechanisms are nylon patches or chemical adhesives. Section 5 concludes with data on fasteners with internal threads. In addition to 180° and 360° patch and adhesive-locking nuts, Section 5 includes data for prevailing torque type steel hex locknuts. In all cases, tables are included for both inch and metric series fasteners.
