Your Trusted Supplier of Stover Nuts for Secure Fastening

Stover nuts, also known as stover lock nuts or prevailing torque lock nuts, are high-strength, all-metal fasteners designed to resist loosening due to vibration and torque. These nuts feature a deformed or elliptical top section that grips bolt threads tightly, creating a secure locking effect without the need for additional washers or adhesives. Their durability and reliability make them essential in industries where fastener integrity is critical.

At Coburn-Myers, we supply a comprehensive range of stover nuts, ensuring our customers have access to the highest quality fastening solutions for demanding applications.

  • They help ensure the durability of motor mounts, gearboxes, and mechanical assemblies.

Example Applications:

  • Securing rotating shafts and belt pulleys

  • Holding heavy-duty press components together

  • Fastening moving parts in robotic assembly systems


5. Aerospace & Defense

Use Case: Ensuring High Strength in Critical Fastening Points

  • In military vehicles, aircraft, and aerospace applications, stover nuts provide high-strength fastening solutions where precision is crucial.

  • Their resistance to extreme temperatures and forces makes them indispensable for securing structural components.

Example Applications:

  • Bolting landing gear assemblies

  • Fastening airframe and fuselage components

  • Locking fasteners in military-grade vehicles and equipment


6. Agricultural & Off-Road Equipment

Use Case: Preventing Fastener Loosening in Rugged Terrain

  • Agricultural machinery such as tractors, combines, and plows face intense vibration and outdoor exposure.

  • Stover nuts maintain secure connections in harsh environments, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Example Applications:

  • Securing cutting blades in harvesting equipment

  • Fastening suspension and drive train components in off-road vehicles

  • Attaching hydraulic systems and plow mounts
