Precision Machined Lock Nut
Lock nut is a precision fastener widely used in hydraulic cylinders, machinery, and industrial equipment. Each forged lock nut is produced through closed-die forging and CNC machining for strength and dimensional accuracy. Designed for heavy-duty systems, every hydraulic lock nut ensures stable torque transmission and long service reliability. Weforging also offers custom solutions to meet OEM standards, combining durability, precision, and consistent performance for global industrial applications.
Manufacturing Process of Lock Nut Forgings
Each forged lock nut from Weforging follows a precise production workflow:
Material Selection: Premium alloy steel, carbon steel, or stainless steel such as 42CrMo and AISI 4140 ensures mechanical stability.
Closed-Die Forging: Heated billets are pressed into shape under high pressure, forming compact grain flow and dense structure.
CNC Machining: Threads and flats are precision-machined for accurate fit and smooth torque transmission.
Heat Treatment: Normalizing, quenching, and tempering create balanced hardness and durability.
Inspection & Testing: Each locking nut undergoes hardness, dimensional, and surface checks per ISO 9001:2015 standards.
This integrated forging + CNC machining + testing process guarantees consistent quality across all production batches.
