Nuts are used in conjunction with a bolt to clamp two or more parts together. The most common type of nut is a Hexagonal Nut, but there are several different types of nuts for use in different applications.
A plain, hexagonal nut with an internal thread. These are by far the most common type of nut and are used in numerous industries and applications.
These nuts are used when the nut needs to be locked in place without clamping on to another object.
Nylon nuts are fasteners with a nylon insert inside that helps hold them in place and prevent loosening. They are often used in situations where vibration is a concern.
Coupling nuts are long hexagonal fasteners used to join two threaded rods or pipes for extending their length. Commonly made of steel or stainless steel, they ensure secure, aligned connections.
Flange nuts are a type of fastener featuring a built-in washer-like flange at their base, which evenly distributes pressure over a larger area. They enhance grip, reduce loosening, and prevent damage.
Square nuts are four-sided, threaded fasteners offering high torque resistance and easy grip during assembly. Common in construction and machinery, they are ideal for applications needing a firm hold.
Dome cap nuts, also known as acorn nuts, are hex nuts with a rounded, dome-shaped top. Made from materials like stainless steel or brass, they protect threads, enhance aesthetics, and ensure safety.
Cage nuts are small, square nuts enclosed in a spring steel cage, commonly used in server racks and equipment enclosures. They allow for easy installation and removal of hardware, ensuring secure fastening.
T-nuts are specialized fasteners shaped like a “T,” commonly used in woodworking and metalworking. They feature prongs that embed into material for secure mounting, offering strong, reliable threads.
Spring nuts are metal fasteners designed to fit into channels or struts, creating secure connections in construction or electrical systems. Their built-in spring ensures easy positioning and reliable grip.
