Locknut ::: Definition 

A nut which has a special means within 
itself for gripping a threaded fastener or 
the connected material so that the 
rotation is resisted in service. 

Free-spinning locknuts: upper half of two piece nut (a) presses collar of lower half against bolt ; captive toothed washer (b) provides locking with spring action; 
ratchet teeth; (c) bite into bearing surface
(d) flows around bolt to lock and seal and
arched prongs (e) of single - thread lock
nut grip screw.
Locknut, Free Spinning.

A locknut which can be assembled or turned freely on the threaded fastener and develops locking action only after being tightened against a base surface. 

Locknut, prevailing torque. A locknut which locks at any position on the threaded fastener, whether or not it is sealed against a base surface. Usually has a locking element that resists rotation as soon as it emerges the externally threaded part. 

Prevailing-torque locknuts : deformed thread (a) has depression in the face of 
the nut to distort a few threads; slotted section; (b) forms beams that deflect inward and grip bolt; threaded elliptical spring; steel insert; (c) produce locking
and non metallic plug insert (d) grips 
bolt threads; out of round threads (e) causes wedging action.
