Hex Jam Nuts

Jam nuts are low-profile industrial fasteners that prevent nuts from loosening during high-vibration or otherwise rugged applications. The hex nut jams against another nut or bolt, creating an extremely secure connection. Jam nuts are threaded all the way through and are thinner than a standard nut or lock nut. Despite their excellent holding power when paired with standard nuts, jam nuts are easily adjusted to new positions, making them highly versatile.

How Does a Jam Nut Work?

When to Use Jam Nuts

Hex jam nuts are primarily used when a standard nut needs a locking mechanism. Jam nuts are always used in conjunction with another nut. As their name implies, hex nut jams are designed to "jam" against a standard-sized hex nut, preventing the standard nut from loosening on the bolt due to vibration or other factors. They are exceptionally versatile and as simple to use as any threaded fastener, making them an excellent solution for a wide range of industrial applications.

Common Industrial Applications for Hex Jam Nuts

Jam nuts are ideal for mechanical equipment and machines that involve high levels of vibration or jostling. Examples of industrial work that benefits from installing jam nuts include:
