Product Description
The AN316-8R is a thin hexagon check nut constructed of steel with right-hand threads, conforming to AN316 specifications. This jam-lock nut secures threaded components in aircraft assemblies by preventing vibration-induced loosening. Commonly paired with AN315 plain nuts on control rods and linkage systems, the AN316-8R provides approximately half the load capacity of a standard AN315 nut, making it ideal for secondary locking applications.
Installation requires torquing per aircraft maintenance manual specifications with verification that thread engagement meets design requirements.
