A Masterpiece in Three Stages

We are excited to showcase the intricate craftsmanship and precision engineering behind the production of our M16 Flange Nyloc Nuts.

These components play a crucial role in securing assemblies across a wide range of industries. Our teams have perfected a three-stage process that delivers both strength and reliability.

Stage 1 – Precision Machining and Preparation.

The journey begins with a robust external round bar, meticulously turned down to a precise 27 mm diameter. Once the turning is complete, a central hole is drilled and carefully bored to create the cavity that will later house the nylon insert. This crucial step ensures perfect alignment and a snug fit. The component is then transferred seamlessly to a sub-spindle for back-facing, creating a smooth rear surface for the final assembly. Next, chamfering is carried out to remove sharp edges, followed by thread milling to ensure a precise and durable thread pattern. This combination of techniques primes the component for the next phase of transformation. (view here)

Stage 2 – Forming the Hexagonal Profile.

At this stage, the part is expertly mounted onto the Polyturn machine. Here, the external profile is meticulously shaped into a flat external hexagon. This precise shaping not only adds functional integrity but also ensures that the nut can be easily tightened using standard tooling. Once the hexagonal profile is achieved, the part is ready to proceed to its final assembly stage. (view here)

Stage 3 – Nylon Insert Placement.

The final stage involves the insertion of a precisely manufactured nylon ring into the pre-bored cavity. Using a careful and controlled rolling process, the nylon insert is securely seated into place, ensuring a smooth, snug, and reliable fit. This innovative feature provides the locking action that the Nyloc nut is renowned for, offering resistance to vibration and maintaining tension over time. Once the insert is in position, the M16 Flange Nyloc Nut is ready to perform its essential role. (view here)

This meticulous three-stage process is a testament to our commitment to precision engineering, efficiency, and reliability.
