S-96282A103 3/8"-16 Flange Nuts

Key Features & Benefits at a Glance

• Superior vibration resistance through serrated locking technology that bites into surfaces to prevent loosening under dynamic loads
• Exceptional strength performance with Grade 8 classification, capable of withstanding heavy-duty industrial applications
• Enhanced corrosion protection from zinc-plated steel construction, extending service life in demanding environments
• Integrated flange design eliminates need for separate washers, providing larger bearing surface for improved load distribution
• Reliable coarse thread engagement with 3/8"-16 UNC threads ensuring quick installation and reduced cross-threading risk
• Standard external hex drive allows for conventional tooling and uniform torque application during installation
• Environmental compliance assurance meeting both RoHS 3 and REACH standards for responsible manufacturing

Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This Grade 8 flange lock nut delivers critical vibration resistance where conventional fasteners fail. The serrated locking technology creates permanent mechanical interference that maintains clamp load in high-vibration environments like heavy machinery, automotive assemblies, and construction equipment. Manufactured from zinc-plated steel, it provides essential corrosion protection while maintaining the high-strength characteristics required for structural applications. The integrated 3/4" flange diameter distributes bearing pressure effectively, reducing surface damage and preventing joint relaxation. With coarse UNC threads and external hex drive, installation efficiency is maximized while maintaining the precision of Class 2B thread fit for reliable engagement without galling or binding issues.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This flange lock nut features 3/8"-16 UNC coarse threads with Class 2B thread fit for standard industrial applications. The nut meets Grade 8 strength classification requirements with dimensions including 3/4" flange diameter, 9/16" width, and 11/32" height. Manufacturing compliance includes RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) standards, ensuring environmental responsibility and workplace safety. The external hex drive configuration accommodates standard wrenching tools while maintaining precise dimensional tolerances throughout production.
