What is nylon lock nut temperature range?

Nylon lock nuts are typically made with a nylon insert that provides a secure grip and prevents loosening due to vibration. The temperature range for nylon lock nuts varies depending on the type of nylon material used in the nut.

Generally, nylon lock nuts can withstand temperatures between -40°F to 250°F (-40°C to 121°C). However, if the nylon material used in the nut is reinforced with glass fibers, the temperature range can be increased to -40°F to 350°F (-40°C to 177°C).

It is important to note that nylon lock nuts should not be used in high-temperature applications where the temperature exceeds the maximum recommended temperature range, as the nylon material can melt or degrade, causing the nut to fail. In such cases, metal lock nuts are recommended.
