2. Security locknut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_locknut

   A security locknut [1] is a type of industrial fastener composed of two steel threaded parts: a nut body and an elliptical spring steel lock ring. Security locknuts are fastened onto a mating bolt to form a bolted joint. Forces of friction (with elastic deformation), a stretching of the bolt, and compression hold the bolted joint firmly together.

3. Locknut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locknut

   A locknut, also known as a lock nut, locking nut, self-locking nut, prevailing torque nut, [1] stiff nut [1] or elastic stop nut, [2] is a nut that resists loosening under vibrations and torque. Prevailing torque nuts have some portion of the nut that deforms elastically to provide a locking action. [ 2 ]

4. Distorted thread locknut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distorted_thread_locknut

   A distorted thread locknut, [1] is a type of locknut that uses a deformed section of thread to keep the nut from loosening due to vibrations, or rotation of the clamped item. There are four types: elliptical offset nuts, centerlock nuts, toplock nuts and partially depitched (Philidas) nuts.

5. Nut (hardware) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(hardware)

   In applications where vibration or rotation may work a nut loose, various locking mechanisms may be employed: lock washers, jam nuts, eccentric double nuts, [1] specialist adhesive thread-locking fluid such as Loctite, safety pins or lockwire in conjunction with castellated nuts, nylon inserts , or slightly oval-shaped threads.

6. Interfering thread nut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interfering_thread_nut

   A variation of this nut is the tapered thread nut. It utilizes a tapered thread to achieve the interference. The nut goes on easily, because the thread diameter starts at a standard size; as the nut is further threaded on it begins to lock, much like a distorted thread locknut. [1]

7. Jam nut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jam_nut

   Standard nut employed as a jam nut against another standard nut. A jam nut is a low profile type of nut, typically half as tall as a standard nut. It is commonly used as a type of locknut, where it is "jammed" up against a standard nut to lock the two in place. It is also used in situations where a standard nut would not fit.
