10 Pcs 8mm Height 5/16" M8 Thread Stainless Steel Serrated Hex Flange Lock Nuts

Features: 1.25mm pitch, 8mm height, 18mm diameter, M8 hexagon flange nuts.A flange nut is a nut that has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated, non-spinning washer. This serves to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of to the part and making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface.The flange may be serrated to provide a locking action. The serrations are angled such that they keep the nut from rotating in the direction that would loosen the nut. Because of the serrations they cannot be used with a washer or on surfaces that cannot be scratched. The serrations help in avoiding vibration of nut and increase the holding power of nut.
