Q: How does the VL 265 prevent bolt or stud loosening?
A: Lock nuts like the VL 265 use deformed threads or nylon inserts to create friction that resists loosening from vibration and cyclic loading. This is critical on pallet jacks that experience constant movement and load cycling.

Q: Can the VL 265 be reused after removal?
A: Reusability of the VL 265 depends on the lock nut design and condition after removal. If nylon-insert type, typically one or two reuses are acceptable. If deformed-thread type, limited reuse is possible. Contact us for specific guidance on your application.
