Self-clinching floating locking nuts are a type of nut that is installed by crimping the end of the nut into a hole. This creates a secure connection, but the nut is free to float within the hole, allowing for some misalignment. The nut also has a locking feature that helps to prevent the nut from backing out under vibration or torque. Self-clinching floating locking nuts are typically made of steel or stainless steel and are available in a variety of sizes and finishes.
