Nylon locking nuts, also known as ny-locks, have a small ring of nylon one one end that forms slightly smaller hole than the threaded hole going through the nut. When the nut is screwed onto a bolt, the bolt has to force its way through the smaller opening, causing the nylon to stretch. This stretching creates a huge amount of friction between the nut and the bolt, allowing the nut to stay tight for long periods of time without coming loose. Nylon lock nuts are especially useful for applications that involve a lot of vibration that would cause regular nuts to come loose.
