Product Description
The AN316-3 is a thin hex check nut (jam nut) with #10-32 UNF thread in steel construction. This locking nut prevents fastener rotation on control linkages and rod end bearings by creating friction against the primary nut. Specify right-hand (R) or left-hand (L) thread direction based on application requirements.
Installation requires torquing per aircraft maintenance manual specifications to ensure proper load and thread engagement without stripping. Common in general aviation control systems where vibration resistance is critical.
