Cleveloc Nut

CLEVELOC NUT

The Cleveloc nut is a low cost one-piece self-locking nut with superior locking and re-usability characteristics. The locking collar is an integral part of the nut and is formed into a geometrically developed ellipse. This provides two locking elements of consistently uniform shape and thread contour which permit the bolt threads to engage smoothly during assembly.

• Dependable Locking Properties : The closed stress path in the locking portion of the nut together with the advantageous distribution of locking pressure over comparatively large areas, provides a locking device with an extremely high fatigue life.
• High Re-Usability : The stress within the locking device when in service is distributed over the two locking elements which represent a comparatively large area. Consequently, ‘local stresses’ are only a fraction of those of slotted type all-metal stiffnuts. Result : an infinitely long service life of many re-usals.
• Fast Trouble-Free Assembly : All the threads within the nut body are free running-there is no deformation of the hexagon form, and galling is totally eliminated by the elliptical design of the locking collar which prevents thread interruptions or pitch errors. Easily engaged, a spanner or power tool will tighten the Cleveloc nut and its smooth progressive locking action is effective at any required setting.
• Interchangeable : Cleveloc nuts are equally effective with high or low limit bolt threads, and can be safely changed from high to low limit bolts during maintenance or overhaul.
