How It Works:
The nylon insert deforms elastically over the threads of the screw without cutting threads into the nylon. The insert locks the nut in two ways: first by forcing the screw threads against the nut threads to increase friction, and second by applying compressive force against the screw itself. This dual-action locking mechanism prevents the nut from backing off under vibration or load.
