Abstract: A threaded locking beam nut having a plurality of locking beams configured such that the inside edge surface of each locking beam has a radially inwardly angled surface thereby forming substantially a V-shaped channel between adjacent beams.
Abstract: A locknut according comprises a C-shaped nut with a radial gap cut through one side. The locknut functionality is provided by making the threads of the nut undersize, by deforming the C-shape inward such that the internal threads are out of round until the nut is assembled on a screw, or by twisting the nut so as to axially displace the threads on opposite sides of the gap.
