Abstract
A nut which is lockable on a threaded element comprises two annular parts (1, 2) connected by preferably resilient members (5). Locking takes place by tightening a screw (6) arranged in a threaded bore in one nut part and abutting against the other nut part. During tightening of the screw, the parts (1, 2) are displaced and/or skewed in relation to each other whereby locking takes place on the thread.
