A nut is a nut, a component that is screwed together with a bolt or screw to tighten. All production and manufacturing machinery must use a component that is divided into several types based on different materials, such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals (such as copper).
Types Of Nuts
Nuts are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials, and thread patterns. While your selection of a nut is somewhat constrained by your choice of bolt—particularly in terms of size and threading—you still should select the nut head shape and material that is most suitable for your application.The types of nuts we stock include:
● Coupling nuts: A coupling nut is a longer, cylindrical nut that joins two male threads. This component can be used to add length to an installation.
● Flange nuts: Similarly to flange bolts, flange nuts feature a round flange that acts as an external washer, and allowing for a more even load distribution.
● Hex nuts: Hex nuts are hexagonally shaped. These nuts are extremely versatile but require a wrench for installation. The types of hex nuts we supply include finished hex, semi-finished hex, hex flange, hex jam, heavy hex, and slotted hex.
● Lock nuts: Lock nuts are available in a range of shapes and are used to secure other nuts and prevent them from loosening. Types of Lock nuts include All Metal Lock nuts with Top or Side locking features, Serrated Hex Flange, and Nylon Inserts.
● Slotted nuts: Slotted nuts are designed and constructed such that they can form a locking mechanism with a cotter pin or a safety wire.
● Square nuts: Square nuts are characterized by their square shape. This head shape increases the surface area of the fastener and the amount of friction it experiences, reducing the risk of it loosening.
● Wheel nuts: Wheel nuts are a broad category of nuts that are used in automotive wheel applications.
Additional nut types: The other nut types we can custom manufacture include cap, castle, conical, Keps, thumb, and wing.
