Stover Nut

Stover Lock Nuts

Stover lock nuts have a locking thread design that adds strength to industrial projects. These single-piece hex nuts count as one-way lock nuts because they install in one direction with the flat side on the bottom. Their all-metal materials give them fewer chemical and temperature limitations than non-metallic lock nuts. While they lock into place, Stover nuts can have adjustments or replacements after installation. They have a variety of uses and product types.

Applications for Stover Nuts

Manufacturers design Stover nuts for use in heavy-duty applications. Stover nuts have an irregular thread design that promotes a tight fit and a cone shape suited for automatic assembly. As a result, companies in the automotive, agricultural equipment and metalworking industries count on these fasteners.

In most applications, the installer uses Stover nuts with flange or frame bolts. Since they don't have a permanent installation, the installer can reuse them for a limited number of times. The prevailing torque declines with each use, making it important to check the fit of a reused Stover nut. Shorter assemblies put less wear on Stover nuts than longer ones because screwing them too far can damage the threads.

Types of Stover Lock Nuts

You can find Stover lock nuts in a variety of sizes, pitches, grades and platings. They come in metal materials only and most commonly have a cadmium dichromate plating, but they can also have a zinc plating. When you replace a graded Stover lock nut, remember to use another nut of an equal or higher grade or strength.
