Self-locking nuts 10 aisi 316 – code: a4-982-10 – Osculati

DIN 982 self-locking hex nuts in AISI 316 (size 10) – Osculati a4-982-10

The self-locking size 10 in AISI 316 stainless steel Osculati, identified by the code a4-982-10, are high type hex nuts compliant with the DIN 982 standard, designed for fastening applications where it is useful to maintain a more stable tightening compared to a standard nut. It is a technical small part suitable for contexts of hardware and plant engineering, typically used also in the nautical field and onboard maintenance, where the choice of material and ease of assembly are key aspects.

The hexagonal geometry makes the component easily manageable with common tools, while the self-locking configuration is designed to reduce the tendency to loosen under normal use conditions. It is a solution suitable for replacements, restorations and interventions on existing bolts, maintaining a recognizable standard and a material choice frequently adopted for demanding uses.

Product features and details

Type: high type self-locking hex nut

The product falls into the category of high type DIN 982 self-locking hex nuts. This family of nuts is commonly chosen when a fastening with greater resistance to loosening is desired compared to a traditional hex nut, while maintaining a familiar shape and operational handling.

Material: stainless steel AISI 316

The manufacturing in AISI 316 makes these nuts a typical choice for applications where stainless steel is preferred, used in technical contexts and often also in nautical environments. In an e-commerce oriented towards plant engineering and onboard maintenance, AISI 316 is frequently selected for its general suitability in harsh operating conditions.

Size: 10

The indicated measurement is 10. When purchasing and replacing, it is important to verify the match with the existing bolts and the fastening design, so as to maintain assembly continuity and dimensional compatibility with the other connection elements.

Identification and supply

• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: a4-982-10

The reference a4-982-10 is useful for reorders, spare parts management, and alignment with bills of materials, especially when working on scheduled maintenance or restoring small parts already present onboard or in the plant.

Typical applications

These self-locking nuts are suitable for general use of fixing and technical small parts in hardware and plant engineering. In particular, they are useful when a more stable tightening over time is desired compared to non-self-locking solutions, without changing the connection setup (hex nut on bolt or stud).

Hardware and plant engineering

• Assemblies and fastenings on mechanical structures and components.
• Routine maintenance interventions on plants and supports.
• Replacement of existing nuts maintaining the DIN 982 standard.

Nautical contexts and onboard maintenance

In the nautical sector and onboard maintenance, stainless steel small parts are often preferred for their ease of use and consistency with already installed components. These Osculati self-locking nuts can be considered for interventions on bolts and fastenings where a recognizable solution is desired, with material and standards commonly adopted in technical fields.

Usage and selection notes

To achieve a correct fastening, it is advisable to select the nut based on the bolt and the specific application. In case of replacement, always check that the size 10 is consistent with the existing bolt or stud and that the required standard is actually DIN 982.

Practical tips for maintenance and spare parts

• Check the measurement: check the match with the bolts already installed before ordering.
• Use the Osculati code: the reference a4-982-10 facilitates reorders and spare parts management.
• Check the standard: if the plant requires a tall self-locking nut type, the wording DIN 982 is a useful element for alignment.

Note on component selection

In professional applications, small hardware is often part of a larger system (bolts, washers, brackets, and paired materials). If you have doubts about choosing the most suitable nut for your fastening, consider comparing it with the existing bolts or the technical specification of the system, to maintain consistency of standards and materials.
