A jam nut is often used when a nut needs to be locked in place without clamping against another object. The jam nut essentially acts as the "other object", as the two nuts are tightened against each other. They can also be used to secure an item on a fastener without applying force to that object.

Lock nuts are fasteners which are threaded internally and possesses capabilities to lock either by itself or in with the usage of another component. Lock nuts are designed to engineer resistance to loosening while subjected to vibration or torque.

Jam Nuts are usually half the height of a standard hex nut. Jam Nuts can function as a lock nut assembly when jammed up against another nut to lock the two in place.

Commonly used with threaded rod and in light duty situations where vibration must be prevented from loosening a bolted joint.

It is also known as thin lock nut or low profile hex nut, non-locking six-sided nut for general use.
