Spanish term or phrase: tuerca tope
SP Sp > UK En

From a generator maintenance manual:

"En L.O.A. del eje rotor, colocar el bulón de fijación C-1114-2 con la tuerca tope de M-24X1,5 C-1114-3."

And in a list of the parts needed for each step of the assembly,

"Bulón de fijación C-1114-2
Tuerca tope C-1114-3"

(I think the second part shows that it is not simply a fully tightened nut).
