🔍 Key Concepts

• Vibration and loosening of threaded fasteners • Special nut designs that use mechanical locking features (pins, cotters, deformations) • Common uses of different nut types in marine machinery and steering systems

💭 Think About

• Think about which nut design is specifically made to stay in place even if the bolt and structure are vibrating repeatedly. • Consider which nut type allows you to insert an extra part (like a pin) through it to prevent it from turning. • Ask yourself: which of these nuts would you expect to find on critical moving or rotating parts where failure would be dangerous, such as steering gear or shafting?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option has a built‑in locking method beyond normal tightening friction alone. • Eliminate any nut types that are mainly used for hand tightening or for appearance/protection rather than security. • Consider which nut is commonly used with a cotter pin to prevent it from backing off under vibration.
