AN365-918 – Nut

Aerospace self-locking hex nut with a non-metallic locking insert, designed for secure fastening in aircraft structural and mechanical assemblies. The integrated locking element provides prevailing torque on the mating threads, helping prevent loosening caused by vibration and cyclic loading. Manufactured to AN standards, it is widely used in general aviation and aerospace applications where reliable fastening and weight efficiency are important.

Application:
Aircraft airframe structures, avionics installations, control system linkages, interior assemblies, and general aviation fastening points requiring vibration-resistant self-locking hardware

Function:
Provides a threaded fastening connection with an integrated locking insert that maintains clamp load and resists loosening under vibration, thermal cycling, and operational stresses
