Titanium Jam Nut

Titanium Jam nuts, or titanium half nuts are a low-profile hex nut with a profile half the height of a standard titanium hex nut.

Our Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) Titanium Jam Nuts are the ultimate solution for applications where failure is not an option. Precision-machined to exacting standards, these lightweight nuts provide superior locking force to prevent loosening under the most demanding conditions of vibration, extreme temperatures, and corrosive environments. If you're building for aerospace, motorsports, marine, or high-end cycling, this is the locking nut you can trust.

Key Features & Benefits

· Unmatched Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Titanium is approximately 45% lighter than steel while offering comparable strength. Reduce overall system weight without compromising integrity or performance—critical for weight-sensitive applications like racing and aerospace.
· Superior Corrosion Resistance: Naturally resistant to saltwater, chemicals, and oxidation. Our titanium jam nuts will not rust, ensuring long-term reliability and a pristine appearance in marine, chemical processing, and outdoor environments.
· Excellent High-Temperature Performance: Maintains strength and function in high-temperature settings where common materials would weaken or fail, making it ideal for engine compartments and exhaust systems.
· Durable Locking Mechanism: The titanium jam nut style (thin hex nut) is designed to be tightened against a standard nut, creating a secure lock that resists vibration and prevents back-off, ensuring your assemblies stay safely fastened.
· Biocompatible & Non-Magnetic: The inert nature of titanium makes these nuts perfect for medical equipment and MRI applications where non-magnetic properties are essential.

FAQ

Q: Why use a jam nut instead of a lock washer?

A: A jam nut provides a more reliable and precise locking mechanism, especially in high-vibration environments. It is less prone to losing its locking force over repeated cycles compared to a spring washer.

Q: Are these nuts reusable?

A:Yes, titanium's high strength and excellent fatigue resistance allow for careful reuse, provided the threads are not damaged during installation or removal.

Q: What is the proper way to install a jam nut?

A:First, tighten the primary nut to the recommended torque specification. Then, hold the primary nut in place and tighten the jam nut against it. Refer to engineering guidelines for specific torque values for your application.

Q: Can I get these nuts in a different grade of titanium?

A:Yes, we offer nuts in commercially pure (Grade 2) and other aerospace grades. Contact us for custom material requests.
