Metal Self Locking Nuts - Philidas Nuts - BA

We stock various brands of all metal self-locking nuts, including Aerotight, Cleveloc, Philidas, Philidas Turret, Stover and Binx nuts.

Self locking nuts work by using increased friction between the threads of the two mating faces to cause a slight distortion of the threads. They are frequently used in areas where vibration is experienced.

Self locking nuts can be re-used, but only a few times before they lose their inherent locking qualities.

Stiff nuts, jam nuts and bent beam nuts are all terms that are used to describe self-locking nuts.

BA thread (British association) is a rarely used thread that was once commonly found on small instruments and models. Still sparingly used in some industries such as metering equipment manufacturing and optical equipment.
