Greer Stop Nut has been recognized for more than 50 years as a premier supplier of internally threaded locking fasteners. Operating out of a 90,000 square foot facility in Nashville, Tennessee, the Greer Stop Nut Locknut product portfolio consists of nylon insert hex, clinch, and spline nuts, plus a variety of all-metal nuts in standard and made-to-order configurations.

 Greer Stop Nut Locknuts meet MS, MIL, AN and NAS specifications and are available in a variety of finishes, platings, and materials. The nylon insert material resists most organic acids, oils, greases and common solvents and mineral acids. The toughness and resiliency of the nylon insert withstand the highly abrasive action caused by nicked threads in mating fasteners, thereby increasing reliability and reducing downtime from failed installations.

CNC Machinists at Greer Stop Nut operate 2-6 axis CNC/Automated or Manual Swiss-style Screw Machine cells as well as standalone machines, which requires basic machine setup including preparing and setting up fixtures and cutting tools, as well as loading and adjusting programs and/or offsets. Operators must have the ability to use advanced quality inspection tools and techniques such as height and air gauges and bench inspection, as well as possess competencies in print reading and common CNC G and M codes.  Operators must also have familiarity with adjusting clutches, cams, and gears.
