Other names: root mother,
anti-loosening nut, nazi.
Purpose: to lock the outer joint of
the harness or other pipe fittings.
The working principle of the nut is
self-locking by the friction between the nut and the bolt. However, the
reliability of this self-locking under dynamic load will be reduced. In
some important occasions, we will take some anti-loosening measures to
ensure the reliability of the nut locking. The use of a lock nut is one
of the anti-loosening measures.
