Nylon insert nuts, also known as jam nuts or elastic stop nuts, are a type of fastening hardware that are commonly used in a variety of industries. Texas Specialty Fasteners is an industry leader in the supply of nylon insert nuts, offering a wide range of sizes and materials to meet the needs of their customers.

Nylon insert nuts are designed to provide a secure and reliable connection between two parts. They are often used in applications where vibration or movement may cause traditional nuts to loosen. The nylon insert in the center of the nut acts as a lock, preventing the nut from loosening under these conditions.

There are several different types of nylon insert nuts available, including standard hex nuts, flange nuts, and lock nuts. Standard hex nuts have a hexagonal shape and are used with a wrench to tighten or loosen them. Flange nuts have a built-in flange that helps to distribute the load evenly and prevents the nut from pulling through the material. Lock nuts have a built-in locking mechanism, such as a nylon insert or a spring, that helps to keep the nut in place and prevent it from loosening.

Nylon insert nuts are made from a variety of materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The material chosen will depend on the specific application and the requirements of the project. Carbon steel nylon insert nuts are strong and durable, but may rust over time. Stainless steel nylon insert nuts are resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in outdoor or damp environments. Aluminum nylon insert nuts are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance, making them ideal for use in aerospace and other high-tech industries.

In addition to the different types and materials available, nylon insert nuts also come in a range of sizes to meet the needs of different projects. Texas Specialty Fasteners offers nylon insert nuts in a variety of sizes, including metric and standard sizes.

Overall, nylon insert nuts are a reliable and secure fastening solution that are widely used in a variety of industries. Texas Specialty Fasteners is an industry leader in the supply of these products, offering a wide range of sizes and materials to meet the needs of their customers.
