DIN 985:1987-05 is withdrawn. ISO 10511:2025 is a reference for prevailing torque thin hexagon nuts with a non-metallic insert. Confirm dimensions, load requirements, insert material, temperature limits and prevailing torque testing for the order. Catalogue references: DIN Media · ISO
Product overview
A nylon insert creates prevailing torque as the mating bolt passes through the locking section. The application temperature, chemicals, installation method and reuse expectations influence product selection.
Thread fit, property class and surface finish must still be matched to the mating bolt. Confirm any required prevailing-torque testing in the RFQ.
Common ordering range
Common DIN 985 metric ordering directions. Final prevailing-torque and service requirements must be specified.
| Selection | Common enquiry options | Control |
|---|---|---|
| Common sizes | M4–M24; larger or fine-thread versions reviewed per RFQ | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Thread options | Metric coarse or fine; tolerance and handedness as specified | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Classes / grades | Steel classes 6, 8 or 10; stainless A2 or A4 | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Insert | Standard nylon insert; temperature or chemical requirements must be stated | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Finish options | Plain, zinc plated, zinc flake or stainless finish | Confirmed per RFQ |
| Performance control | Prevailing-torque test, reuse policy and assembly speed as agreed | Confirmed per RFQ |
