A jam nut, also known as a "lock nut" or "thin nut," is a type of nut that is used to secure another nut or bolt in place to prevent it from loosening due to vibration or movement. It is typically thinner than standard nuts, which allows it to be used in tight spaces where a standard nut might not fit. Jam nuts are usually installed on top of a regular nut, and the two are tightened against each other.
