The correct answer is: castle nut.
A castle nut is a type of nut that has a cylindrical body with a recessed area at the bottom, shaped like a castle turret, to receive the tip of a locking set screw. This design allows the set screw to be inserted into the recess and tightened, locking the nut in place and preventing it from coming loose.
The other options are not correct because;
- Jam nut: A jam nut is a thin nut that is used to lock another nut in place by tightening it against the other nut.
- Ring nut: A ring nut is a type of nut that has a ring-shaped design, but it does not have a recessed area for a set screw.
- Sawn nut: This is not a recognized term in the context of locking devices.
Castle nuts are commonly used in applications where a secure and reliable locking mechanism is required, such as in:
- Machinery and equipment
- Automotive applications
- Aerospace industry
- Industrial settings
They are often used to secure bolts, screws, and other fasteners in place.
