NOOK PRECISION LOCKNUT DESIGNS & APPLICATIONS
NOOK PRECISION LOCKNUT DESIGNS

Nook precision locknuts are produced from high strength steel, heat-treated to a hardness of 28 to 32 HRC. The heat treat process produces additional strength and high resilience to shock loads. The locknuts have either ground threads or machined threads with a tolerance class of ISO 4H.

  • Material - AISI 4140
  • Hardness - HRC 28-32
  • Precision - ISO 4H
Nook Series MF

SERIES MF
The series MF locknut is designed with three locking inserts (pegs) that intersect the bore with an angle of 30o. This series is produced with tolerance class ISO 4H ground threads and is available in sizes 12 to 200 mm bore.

Nook Series MR

SERIES MR
The series MR locknut is designed with three locking inserts (pegs) that intersect the bore with an angle of 90o. This design offers reduced axial space requirements, which limits its use to applications where the locking pegs are accessible. The reduced axial length also reduces the axial loading capacity. This series is produced with tolerance class ISO 4H ground threads and is available in sizes 6 to 200 mm bore.

Nook Series MKR

SERIES MKR
The series MKR locknut design utilizes two radial grooves machined to provide an accordion-like cross section. The internal radial groove divides the thread of the locknut into two sections: locking section and clamping section. Depending on the locknut size, three to eight socket head screws are used to clamp the two sections together. By tightening the socket head screws, the thread clearance is eliminated providing a continuous contact along the entire thread length. This continuous contact provides high load carrying capacity, high shock resistance and high loosening torque.

The two sections are designed so the deformation induced by the socket head screws is occurring only in the locking portion of the locknut without affecting the accuracy of the clamping portion. This series is produced with tolerance class ISO 4H machined threads and is available in sizes 10 to 200 mm bore.

Nook Series TMF SERIES TMF
The series TMF locknut is designed with three locking inserts (pegs) that intersect the bore with an angle of 30o. This series is produced with tolerance class ISO 4H ground threads and is available in sizes 25 to 200 mm bore.
Nook Series SZF SERIES SFZ
The series SFZ locknut is designed with three locking inserts (pegs) that intersect the bore with an angle of 30o. This series is produced with tolerance class ISO 4H machined threads and is available in sizes 10 to 200 mm bore.

NOOK PRECISION LOCKNUT APPLICATIONS

APPLICATIONS
As shown below, Nook locknuts can be used to assemble springs, adjust the axial play on thrust washers, adjust the preload and locate axially thrust bearings in spindle arrangements and ball screw supports.
