Prevailing-torque self-locking nut
Auto-Lok two-point deformed nuts are cost-effective, all-metal prevailing-torque lock nuts designed for high-volume applications. The locking effect is created by deforming the nut at two points, generating a controlled interference on the bolt thread.
This design delivers reliable locking performance while keeping the threads load bearing and suitable for repeated assembly, making it an excellent choice for industrial and structural joints.
- Low-cost solution ideal for large production runs.
- Relatively high prevailing torque obtained by two-point deforming with consistent characteristics to BS 4929.
- All threads remain load bearing — no damaged or “crushed” threads.
- Available in ISO metric coarse, UNF, UNC, BA, BSF and BSW threads.
- Size range from approx. 4 mm to 48 mm and from 6-32 (6BA) up to 2".

Definition
Two-point deformed nuts are all-metal self-locking nuts in which the prevailing torque is created by controlled deformation at two locations on the nut, producing a precise interference on the bolt thread.
This design provides secure locking without additional components such as washers, helping you reduce parts count and assembly time.
As a self-locking nut, it delivers repeatable prevailing torque while keeping load-bearing threads intact and suitable for multiple assembly cycles.
