Jam Nuts

Get Mini bike jam nuts of the highest quality from OMB Warehouse. Mini bike jam nuts are small yet crucial components as top grade fasteners are required for mini bikes. This simple style of thin nut is installed between a hex nut and joint material, allowing the stronger nut to handle the load. The thin nut should be placed on the bolt first. This nut is typically tightened to between 25% to 50% of the overall tightening torque. The second (thick) nut is then placed on the bolt and the thin nut is held to prevent rotation by a spanner whilst the thick nut is tightened to the full torque value. Mini bike jam nuts are a low profile hex nut used as a locknut to prevent vibration from loosening a bolted joint. Before nuts were developed with "self locking" capabilities, two jam nuts would be tightened against each other so that nuts wouldn't loosen over time. The first nut is held with a wrench while the second nut is tightened or "jammed" against the first to lock both nuts in place. OMB Warehouse stocks Mini bike jam nuts in both left handed and right handed threads. The low profile design makes this nut ideal for low clearance applications.
