Usages for Hex Jam Nuts

Hex jam nuts are thin, hexagonal nuts used to lock a standard hex nut into place, offering a secondary layer of security to fastener assemblies. Their thin profile allows them to sit flush against a standard nut without adding significant length to the assembly, making them ideal for applications with limited space.

Unlike other lock nuts, hex jam nuts don’t rely on frictional interference; instead, they prevent loosening by applying force against the main nut, creating a dual-nut locking mechanism. This setup is particularly useful in assemblies that are exposed to constant movement or vibrations, which can otherwise lead to loosening over time.
