Binx Self Locking Nut
The Binx Nut is an all metal prevailing torque type self-locking nut. The
locking
action is provided by two slots cut into the side of the nut which locally
changes the pitch. When tightened onto a bolt this change in pitch results in
the nut threads gripping the flanks of the bolt thread resulting in a locking
action.
One advantage of the Binx nut is that its height is no greater than a standard
nut so that it can be used in confined spaces. The finish on the nuts is BZP
(Bright
Zinc Plating). The nut can be re-used and still maintain a locking action.
To achieve the full locking action of the nut it is recommended that at least
two bolt threads should protrude through the top of the nut.
