How does the self-locking nut function when installed on a bolt through plastic material?

The self-locking nut is specifically designed to provide a secure, permanent engagement with the bolt to which it is attached. When installed on a bolt through plastic material, the self-locking mechanism ensures that the nut remains in place under various conditions without loosening due to vibrations or other forces. This feature is especially crucial in applications involving plastic, as overtightening can deform or damage the material.

While it is possible for the nut to be removed, its primary purpose is to lock in place, preventing unintentional disassembly. This characteristic distinguishes it from other types of fasteners that may allow for frequent adjustments or better accommodate thermal expansion. In applications where mechanical integrity and stability are paramount, the self-locking nut serves as an effective solution to maintain a secure connection.
