Aztech Locknut Company 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, is that special torque can be specified for any locking part. The typical requests are for a high torque range, a narrower torque limit, or 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
Aztech Locknut Company is a custom thread fit specialist. Our attention to the subtleties of thread fit is crucial to controlling the torque values throughout our product range. We can supply extra-fine threads, locking threads, 3B thread fits, and oversize threads when required.
SPECIAL INSPECTION PROCEDURE OR CUSTOM CERTIFICATION
Parts that require an AQL or inspection frequency above those of industry standard are managed as specials in Aztech Locknut Company’s standard inspection process. Any nut characteristic can be measured and reported on the standard material certification.
MULTIPLE LOCKING ELEMENTS
Assemblies sometimes require more than one locking element to satisfy the safety-critical requirement of the application. Aztech Locknut Company applies the multiple locking feature and ensures each is performing within the required standard as well as the combined specification.
SPECIAL PLATINGS & FINISHES
Aztech Locknut Company installs several wax dry lubricant types to comply with standard and special finish requirements. Aztech Locknut Company’s proximity to the diverse Chicagoland metal finishers ensures a great variety of finishes are available with short lead times and competitive prices.
