Automation Locknuts
The top thread section of the Automation Locknut is precisely
displaced at two 180° opposing areas. This deflection ovalizes the
top threads of the nut and bends these threads out of their helical
configuration. This locking element remains springlike through
repeated applications and severe shock loads.
The Automation Locknut starts freely on a bolt or stud like a common
nut until the deflected thread portion is reached. It then requires
wrenching to a final position anywhere on the mating part. The
pronounced chamfer on the top of the nut makes it easily sorted
by sight, feel or selective devices and it is clearly visible that the end
product is safe-guarded by a locknut.
GRADE C
W
The Automation Locknut is precision manufactured on cold and hot
forming equipment to ensure uniform bearing area and a chamfered
top, thereby giving consistent prevailing torque results.

CollarPlus™ Locknuts
By ovalizing a precision manufactured collar at two 180° opposing
points, a spring-like locking element is developed. The collar locknut
retains consistent locking torque through repeated applications. By
deflecting the thinner top wall of the nut, the nut body and bottom
threads remain unaffected by the locking process. The collar locknut
starts freely on a bolt or stud until the locking element is reached, it
then requires torquing to its final position.
Collar locknuts have proven to be most effective when used in
applications requiring large diameters, high strength and light weight.

Flange Center Locknuts
Flange Locknuts offer additional bearing surface for use on elongated
holes of slots and when assembling soft materials. The additional
bearing surface helps distribute the clamp load over a greater area.
Use of a flange locknut eliminates the need for a washer, thereby allowing for faster assembly and fewer fastener parts in the assembly.
Both the flange center lock and flange Tech Lock™ provide a secure
locking element created by deflected nut threads at two opposing
positions on the nut body.
FLANGE CENTER LOCKNUT GRADE F
It is not necessary for the mating part to fully protrude from the top of
the flange center lock nut. The flange Tech locknut does require that
the mating part protrude a sufficient length to fully engage the locking
element. The flange Tech locknuts represent a lower cost and lighter
weight alternative to the flange cone locknuts.

Finished Hex Center Locknuts
The centermost threads of the Center Locknut have been precision
deflected at two 180° opposing pressure points, therefore uniformly
ovalizing the nut and bending the center threads of the nut out of
their true helix.
The locking element spreads over several of the center threads,
engaging the mating threads of a bolt or stud with a resilient 180°
spring lock.
GRADE A WITH
STANDARD 3-HIT
DEFLECTION
Whatever bearing face is selected as top or bottom, the Center
Locknut starts freely. When the locking element threads in the center
of the nut are reached, the nut must be wrenched to its final position.
This can be any place on the bolt as seating is not required for locking
effectiveness.
OPTIONAL 2-HIT
DEFLECTION AVAILABLE
ON GRADE A AND
GRADE B MATERIAL
W
It is not necessary for the bolt to extend out of a Center Locknut.
Before the bolt end reaches the top of the nut, the lock is fully
engaged. This factor is important when the space above the nut is
limited and when the weight of the final assembly is a critical factor. It
also allows the use of shorter bolts.
Center Locknuts are most appropriate when they are to be machine
applied. Since the top and bottom are identical, selective feeding
devices are not required. This feature also simplifies hand assembly.

Jam Locknuts
The low profile of the jam nut pattern provides the design engineer
with another locknut option in the full range of diameters. Center
and toplock choices increase the variety. Superior 3-point deflection
for center lock jam insures easier assembly with some free rotation
before engaging the locking element.

Technical Information
Torque Measuring Device - A torque wrench accurate to within
plus or minus 2% of the maximum. All readings must fall within
the upper 50% of the wrench selected.
Load Measuring Device - A calibrated load measuring device
(Skidmore Wilhelm) accurate to within plus or minus 5%. The
Device is fitted with attachments to accept the bolt and nut to be
tested.
Hardened Mandrel - A post threaded to Class 3A fit, except that
the major diameter shall be the minimum major diameter with a
plus tolerance of .002. Mandrel hardness shall be RC45-50.
Test Bolt - The test bolt has an ultimate tensile strength that
exceeds the proof load of the nuts tested. The bolts meet class 2A
tolerance and are zinc phosphate plated to meet a 72 hour salt
spray with an oil finish dry to the touch. Bolt thread length is such
that when assembled in the load cell, a minimum of two thread
pitches remain below the nut and six protrude through it. The bolt
is to be free of burrs and contaminants.
Prevailing Torque Test/Torque Tension Test - The prevailing
torque test is conducted at room temperature to the applicable
grade and thread specifications.
At no time during these four additional installations and removals
should the torque exceed the maximum “first installation.” During
the first 360° of the fifth removal, the torque values will fluctuate
between a highest and lowest reading on the wrench scale. The
highest value must meet or exceed the fifth removal “highest
reading minimum.” The lowest value must meet or exceed the
fifth removal ”lowest reading minimum.”
Proof Load Test - A test sample nut is assembled on a hardened
mandrel mounted in a load measuring device. The maximum
prevailing torque occurring during assembly is recorded. A load
equal to the proof load specified for the grade and thread pitch
of the sample nut is applied in tension. The nut must resist this
load without thread stripping or rupture. The prevailing torque
necessary to remove the nut from the mandrel shall not exceed
the maximum torque occurring during the assembly.
Hardness Test - The Rockwell hardness of a sample nut is
determined on the top face of the nut to provide a flat area
between the hex corner and the major diameter of the thread.
The hardness test is performed in the center of this area once any
plating or coating is ground from the bearing surface (bottom) of
the nut.
GRADE
A test bolt is inserted into a load measuring device fitted for the
size tested. A hardened washer is assembled on the bolt and
is prevented from turning throughout the procedure. The nut
tested is advanced on the bolt until two threads protrude through
the top of the nut. At that time, the maximum torque required
to advance the nut through the next 360° of rotation shall not
exceed the “first installation” torque specified.
The nut is advanced on the bolt until the clamp load specified is
achieved in the bolt. At this time, six to nine thread pitches must
protrude through the nut. The torque required to reach the clamp
load must fall within the specified “locknut tightening torque” to
comply with the torque tension requirements for cadmium plated
nuts.* The nut is then reversed off the bolt until the tensile load on
the bolt declines to zero.
As the nut is reversed another 360°, the torque values will
fluctuate between a highest and lowest reading on the wrench
scale. The highest value must meet or exceed 40% of the first
installation torque and must meet or exceed the first removal
“highest reading minimum.” The lowest value must meet or
exceed the first removal “lowest reading minimum.” The nut is
then backed off until the prevailing torque element disengages
the bolt. The nut is reassembled and removed four more times.
On each reassembly, the nut is assembled to the initial first
off position. This portion of the test need not be conducted
in the load cell, as no clamp load is to be induced in the bolt.
Installation and removal speeds may not exceed 30 rpm, and
sufficient time between torquing cycles is allowed to prevent
overheating of the assembly.

Grade Marking and Aztech Identification – Grade A nuts
need not be marked. Grades B, C, F and G nuts are marked to
identify manufacturer and grade. Markings are in the form of three
(for grades B and F) or six (for grades C and G) grade marking
symbols. The Aztech identification shown below is used as a
substitute for one of the grade marking symbols.
AZTECH MANUFACTURER’S
IDENTIFICATION SYMB0L
Wax, Plating and Prevailing Torque - Wax is clean and dry to
the touch and is recommended as a supplementary lubricant
on all locknuts. Wax does not deteriorate and helps reduce
installation torque and galling. Various platings when applied
to locknuts and mating parts can create significant changes in
the prevailing torque and torque tension relationships.
Aztech Locknut Company can help to evaluate the effect of
these variables.

Locknut Applications
TUBING
CONNECTION
Aztech prevailing torque locknuts resist rotation due to
a self contained locking feature. As all-metal locknuts,
they have few environmental limitations. Removal torque
values tend to decline with each installation. The rate
of decline varies with our different locknut products.
To function properly, the locking feature must engage
fully formed threads. A new design must allow for bolt
threads of sufficient length so that starting threads
remain beyond the nut’s locking element.

G

As the locknut’s deformed threads are assembled with
standard form threads, it is possible that one or both may
be damaged. Damage can be minimized by selecting
fasteners of compatible or similar strength grades.
The Sales Department at Aztech Locknut Company
fully understands application parameters and can be
extremely helpful in locknut product selection.
Many of these locknuts, long thought to be proprietary
items, are now available from stock eliminating the need
for large manufacturing minimums and long lead times.
We are able to cross reference other manufacturers part
numbers and quote on a locknut that is comparable
in performance.
Samples are available for engineering approval
as necessary.
