The slim height of prevailing torque type hexagon thin nuts fits where bulky nuts won't fit. It’s easy to install with basic tools, and because it’s self-locking, there’s no need to add parts like lock washers.
You’ll find prevailing torque type hexagon thin nuts in automotive assemblies (like engine mounts or gearboxes), aerospace (securing lightweight panels), and electronics (fastening circuit boards or small components). They’re also used in robotics, medical devices, and HVAC systems—anywhere space is tight and vibrations threaten regular nuts.
These prevailing torque type hexagon thin nuts are slim but sturdy. They work with normal wrenches, and use squashed threads or nylon bits to grip bolts tight. Made with heavy-duty steel or rust-proof metals. Great for tight spaces or layered setups since they’re so flat. Heads up: If you unscrew them, they lose their locking power -toss them after use.

Prevailing torque type hexagon thin nuts secure sensors in cramped spaces, staying tight despite engine vibrations. Or a factory robot arm—these nuts keep joints locked without adding bulk. Even in home appliances like microwaves, they fasten internal parts that can’t afford to rattle loose. Simple fix, big impact.
