: Although that might describe what is happening here, it does not describe the actual hardware used; and your explanation about "an anti-friction surface treatment" is exactly opposite what's required here, where maximum friction is important! 'Lock nuts'

Discussion
I think David is right in surmising this must be a text originally in another language — which oddly enough could even have been FR in the first place! Note that in EN we can say 'counter-nut' too, even though that is perhaps not the commonest way of expressing the same idea.
