Founded in France, Lanfranco has specialized in elastic thread self-locking technology for nearly 70 years. Different from Hard-Lock two-piece wedge structure, it adopts single nut internal thread deformation self-locking design without matching parts, showing outstanding advantages for frequent maintenance and long-term high-temperature working conditions. It is the designated imported lock nut for European high-temperature heavy industry, PV trackers and high-speed rail maintenance equipment.

| Comparison Item | French Lanfranco Lock Nut | Japanese Hard-Lock Lock Nut |
| Locking Structure | Single piece thread deformation self-locking, single nut independent use | Two-piece interlocking wedge teeth, must be installed as a pair |
| Max Long-term Operating Temp | Stable continuous operation up to 200℃ | Long-term limit 180℃, wedge tooth stress fades above temperature |
| Allowable Reassembly Cycles | Stable over 20 disassembly cycles with slow locking force attenuation | Only 10-15 reuse cycles for heavy load, anti-loosening fails after multiple disassembly |
| Max Vibration Resistance Grade | 8-10G medium alternating vibration | Up to 15G ultra-heavy impact vibration |
| Main Applicable Industries | High-temperature pipelines, PV trackers, frequently maintained equipment | Wind turbine towers, mining machinery, heavy impact chassis |
| Assembly Difficulty | Standard regular torque without extra tension, higher assembly efficiency | Tightening torque +20% extra, paired installation increases working hours |
1. Assembly rule: Single nut independent installation without auxiliary nut, greatly simplify production line process and cut labor cost; 2. High-temperature material selection: A5 (316Ti) stainless steel Lanfranco nuts are mandatory for pipelines running at 200℃ long-term, carbon steel versions suffer stress relaxation above 150℃; 3. Matching taboo: Do not stack with NORD-LOCK wedge lock washers, dual locking structures counteract preload force mutually; 4. Anti-corrosion matching: Coat high-temperature anti-corrosion grease on threads for coastal PV trackers to avoid thread seizure caused by temperature difference during maintenance.
1. Genuine identification: Original Lanfranco nuts carry complete laser brand marking on side surface, counterfeits have blurry logo and poor thread deformation precision; 2. Customs declaration: Truthfully fill overseas brand Lanfranco, provide French original agency authorization to avoid detention during IP inspection; 3. Audit documents: Original French mill test report, high-temperature mechanical test certificate and EU RoHS certificate attached per batch; 4. Replacement ban: Domestic single-deformation lock nuts or Hard-Lock two-piece nuts cannot substitute if drawings specify Lanfranco, overseas supervisors will reject project acceptance.
