Self-locking nut design minimises thread wear
TR Fastenings has refined and developed their versatile Binx Nut to create a new all-metal, self-locking nut suitable for use across numerous industry sectors. No bigger than a standard full nut, the Binx Nut's design incorporates two opposing cantilevers which lock into the mating part with inward and downward pressure, thus minimising thread wear and enabling the nut to be removed and replaced repeatedly whilst retaining torque resistance.
Available off-the-shelf in a number of different materials and sizes, TR's Binx Nuts are especially suitable where vibration resistance is a priority. Furthermore, these new fasteners are unaffected by temperature fluctuations or contaminants, making them well suited for a range of applications, such as electrical and domestic appliances and locomotive.
The Binx Nut is one of a wide range of self-locking components offered by TR Fastenings, which also includes Nylon insert nuts, Tri 5 and Tri 6 nuts, Hank-loc and Wun-Loc nuts, available from stock and in a wide range of sizes, from M3 to M36, and materials, such as mild steel, brass and stainless steel.
