Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for NF 000022?
A: NF 000022 is a hex lock nut sized 5/16-18 with a nylon insert. The nylon locking feature secures bolts in vibration-prone gravity conveyor and material handling applications.
Q: How does NF 000022 differ from dimpled lock nuts?
A: NF 000022 uses a solid nylon insert rather than a dimpled design. Both prevent bolt loosening, but the nylon insert style provides reusability and smoother engagement on the bolt thread.
Q: What conveyor equipment uses 5/16-18 bolts and NF 000022?
A: This nut is used on gravity conveyor frames, roller assemblies, and mounting brackets from Hytrol, Honeywell, and similar OEM equipment. Always verify your bolt size before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
Q: Can NF 000022 be reused?
A: Nylon insert nuts like NF 000022 can typically be reused 5 to 10 times before the insert loses grip. Once the nylon becomes damaged or hardened, replace the nut to maintain bolt security.
