Aztech Locknut provides a great number of specials to customers requiring Custom Alternatives to otherwise standard parts.

SPECIAL TORQUE
The easiest and most common custom alternative, many times using customer-specified mating parts, special torque can be specified for any locking part. The typical requests are for a high torque range, a narrower torque limit, or for a low torque.

SPECIAL NUT BODY DIMENSIONS
The variety available in special body types is limitless. Typical requests range from heavy-wall low-profile flange nuts to light-hex tall nuts.

SPECIAL THREAD OR THREAD FIT
