Auto-Lok 12-Point Locking Nuts — ALN12P
Compact, high-torque 12-point (double-hex) all-metal lock nuts for demanding assemblies. Alloy-steel, heat-treated; cadmium plated per QQ-P-416. Typical tensile strength: 180,000 PSI.


- Why 12-point? Smaller wrench swing and better access than hex in tight spaces; higher tool engagement reduces rounding risk.
- Material & finish: Heat-treated alloy steel, cadmium plated (QQ-P-416) for corrosion protection and consistent torque.
- Strength: Designed around ~180 ksi tensile class for high axial loads.
- Use cases: Aerospace, motorsport, and power-dense machinery where compact geometry and repeatable clamp load matter.
