HLN-B short for HARDLOCK Nut ( Basic Type ) is our first generation product being replaced by HLN-R short for HARDLOCK Nut ( Rim Type). When designing for sizes M6 ~ M30 for metric threads please be aware that Basic Type (Metric) has become obsolete for standard materials. Instead, please refer to HARDLOCK Nut (Rim Type).

• Stop tightening if full contact is reached between the convex and concave nuts before reaching the highest recommend torque.
• The reference tightening torque for the convex nut is calculated on the basis of a torque coefficient of 0.15.
• The tightening torque for the convex nut with HDZ35 is calculated on the basis of a torque coefficient of 0.35.
• For the tightening torque of the A2/stainless steel convex nut, refer to the strength classification of the bolt used.
• Because the proof load of the convex nut is the same as a general single nut, there is no unique torque value.
• The concave nut can be tightened until contact with the convex nut even if the tightening torque exceeds the recommended maximum value because the torque coefficient varies depending on the surface roughness.
• For HDZ concave nuts, tighten 50% more than the recommended torque value due to the high torque coefficient.

• Stop tightening if full contact is reached between the convex and concave nuts before reaching the highest recommend torque.

• The reference tightening torque for the convex nut is calculated on the basis of a torque coefficient of 0.15.
• For the tightening torque of the A2/stainless steel convex nut, refer to the strength classification of the bolt used.
• No tightening torque is specified for the convex nut, which shall be tightened to the appropriate torque for the application.
(The convex nut has the same strength class as regular hexagon nut and can be tightened to its maximum limit.)
• The concave nut can be tightened to come into contact either one-sided or fully even with more torque than the recommended torque to better ensure locking effect.
