A nut is a component that is screwed together with a bolt or screw rod to play a fastening role. It is a commonly used element in all manufacturing machinery. It connects with bolts of the same specification through the internal threads to achieve a tight connection of mechanical equipment.
Specification Types | Details |
Thread Specification (Metric) | It starts with "M", followed by the nominal diameter value, such as M4, M6, etc. |
Thread Specification (Imperial) | Using inches as the unit, it usually consists of the inch representation of the thread outer diameter combined with the number of threads per inch, like 5/16 - 18UNC. |
Across Flats Distance (Ordinary Hexagon Nut) | It is closely related to the thread specification and designed to fit wrench operations. |
Nut Thickness | It is determined according to the size of the bearing load. |
Hexagon Nuts | They are the most widely used and applicable to various mechanical connections, such as in the fields of automobile manufacturing, mechanical equipment, and building structures. They can be used in combination with bolts of different strength grades and can withstand relatively large tensile and shear forces. |
Lock Nuts | They are often used in occasions where high reliability of connection is required, such as in the fields of aerospace, railway transportation, and precision machinery. They can effectively prevent the nuts from loosening under conditions like vibration and impact, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. |
Wing Nuts | They are shaped like butterflies and are convenient for manual tightening and disassembly. They are often used in parts that need to be adjusted or disassembled frequently, such as in the fields of instruments and meters, furniture, and toys. |
Flange Nuts | There are flanges at one or both ends of the nuts, which can increase the contact area between the nuts and the connected parts, improving the stability and sealing of the connection. They are often used in pipeline connections, pressure vessels and other fields. |
Weld Nuts | They are fixed on the connected parts by welding, which can achieve a fast and reliable connection. They are often used in automobile manufacturing, electronic equipment and other fields, and can improve production efficiency and connection strength. |
- Reliable Connection: When used in conjunction with bolts, it can provide stable and reliable connections, ensuring the normal operation of mechanical equipment.
- Easy to Install and Remove: With a simple structure and standardized specifications, it is convenient and quick to install and remove, which can improve work efficiency.
- Reusable: Under normal usage conditions, nuts can be reused multiple times, reducing the usage cost.
- Highly Versatile: It can be used in combination with bolts of different types and specifications, possessing strong versatility and interchangeability.
- Relatively Low Cost: Compared with some complex connection methods and fasteners, the manufacturing and procurement costs of nuts are relatively low, offering a high cost-performance ratio.
