Lock nut for bolt connection between components has retaining cage that prevents relative radial motions between nut body and washer by abutting washer

摘要

A screw (6) connecting at least two components (2,4) is threaded with the internal female thread of the nut body (14). A wire threaded insert (16) is clamped to the female thread of the nut body. A washer (18) is fitted along the face of the nut body. A retaining cage (20) abutting the washer prevents relative radial motions between the nut body and washer.
