Hex Fullnut.
Used for fastening to a bolt when mechanically joining materials together. This type is also known as Hexagon fullnut.

Nylon insert nuts (Nyloc nuts).
A hex nut used for fastening to a bolt when mechanically joining materials together. The bolt threads into the nylon material located at the top of the hex nut. This helps prevent loosening from vibration.

Wing nuts.
A nut that has Wings (or ears) which can be turned by hand.

Hex Dome nut (Acorn nut).
A hex nut with a dome enclosed top. Bolts must be must be finished to the correct length.

Hex Lock nut (Hexagon Half nut).
A slim hex nut designed for locking off a fullnut. Should be used under the hex fullnut.  When the hex fullnut is tightened the load is transferred in the opposite direction.

Tee nut (Pronged Tee nut).
A pressed tubular nut with a flat top and sharp teeth angled at 90`, designed to knocked into a drilled hole in timber. Applications include bed and table leg screw adjusters.

STOVER locknuts resist backoff even if the clamped components relax.  They are designed to IFI-100/107/101 standards. The nut's locking element engages smoothly with the externally threaded member without seizing or galling.  It develops consistent clamping force and uniform assembly torque due to the cold worked finish of the nut
Handles Tough Conditions - The STOVER one-piece all metal design maintains in-place clamp load under severe conditions and at temperature ranges up to 400° F.  There are no plastic patches, inserts, or adhesives that can be adversely affected by harsh liquids or elevated temperatures.
Highly Compatible - Standard drive sockets and wrenches are used to install STOVER locknuts.  Their shape facilitates either automatic or manual feeding.  And since STOVER hex and flange locknuts eliminate the need for jam nuts, you have fewer parts to inventory.
Reliable Strength 
The upper portion of the tapped nut is compressed to an elliptical form to create a locking zone. The lower zone of the nut maintains its form. The mating external thread assembles freely  the lower zone of the STOVER locknut. As the mating external thread advances into the nut, it makes contact with the locking zone, expanding it to an almost circular shape.  This creates a compressive force on the mating external threads.  This compressive force provides the prevailing torque locking action.
