NUTS

Each type of nut and washer serves a unique purpose, ensuring that mechanical assemblies are secure, reliable, and suited to their specific applications.

  • Collar Nut: Also known as a “collared nut,” this type of nut features a collar or flange around its base, which helps in distributing the load more evenly. It’s often used in applications requiring a stable and secure fit.
  • Dome Nut: With a rounded, dome-shaped top, this nut is primarily used for aesthetic purposes and to cover the exposed end of a bolt. It also helps protect the threads from damage and corrosion.
  • Flange Nut: Featuring a built-in flange at the base, this nut provides a larger surface area that distributes the load and minimizes the risk of damaging the material being fastened. It’s often used in applications where vibration is a concern.
  • Hex Nut: One of the most common nuts, the hex nut has a hexagonal shape, allowing it to be tightened with a wrench. It’s versatile and used in a wide range of applications.
  • Lock Nuts: These nuts are designed to resist loosening under vibration or torque. Types include nylon-insert lock nuts (nyloc nuts), all-metal lock nuts, and more.
  • MS Nuts: Mild steel (MS) nuts are made from mild steel and are used in a variety of applications where high tensile strength and durability are not critical.
  • Nyloc Nut: This lock nut features a nylon insert that provides friction to prevent the nut from loosening. It’s ideal for applications subject to vibration.
  • Serrated Flange Nut: Equipped with serrated teeth on the flange, this nut grips the surface better and is less likely to slip. It’s often used in high-vibration environments.
  • Serrated Nut: Similar to the serrated flange nut but without the flange, it has serrated edges to provide a secure grip on the surface.
  • Special Hex Nuts: These nuts are customized to specific requirements and might include variations in shape, size, or material not covered by standard hex nuts.
  • Square Nuts: With a square shape, these nuts are designed to be used in conjunction with square bolts and can be useful in applications where a large surface area is needed.
  • SS Nuts: Stainless steel (SS) nuts are resistant to corrosion and are used in applications where exposure to harsh conditions or chemicals is expected.
  • Washer Nuts: Combining the functions of a nut and a washer, these provide a secure connection while distributing the load evenly.
  • Weld Nuts: Designed for welding to a surface, these nuts are used when a strong, permanent connection is needed.
  • Wing Nuts: Featuring two “wings” or tabs, wing nuts can be tightened or loosened by hand, making them ideal for applications where frequent adjustments are needed.
  • Brass Nuts: Made from brass, these nuts offer excellent corrosion resistance and are commonly used in electrical and plumbing applications.
  • Clinch Nuts: Also known as “pressed-in” or “staked” nuts, clinch nuts are designed to be inserted into a hole in a metal panel and clinched or pressed into place for a secure fit.
  • Customize Nuts: Custom nuts are manufactured to meet specific design or performance requirements that standard nuts cannot fulfill.
  • DSC5115: This is likely a part number or specific product model. It would be best to refer to a catalog or specification sheet for detailed information.
  • Flange Lock Nuts: These nuts combine the features of a flange nut and a locking mechanism to prevent loosening and ensure a secure connection.
  • Nut Insert: Used to provide a threaded hole in a non-threaded material or to repair stripped threads, nut inserts are commonly used in plastic or softer metals.
  • Special Nuts: This category includes nuts designed for specific applications or functions that do not fit into standard classifications.
  • Tap Tight Nuts: Designed to fit tightly into tapped holes, these nuts are used when precision and a tight fit are essential.
  • Weld Nuts: Repeated in the list, weld nuts are designed for welding onto surfaces to provide a strong, reliable threaded connection.

Washers

  • MS Washer: Mild steel washers are used to distribute load and reduce friction between surfaces. They are suitable for general-purpose applications.
  • SS Washer: Stainless steel washers offer corrosion resistance and are used in environments exposed to moisture or chemicals.
  • SS 304 Washer: Made from stainless steel 304, these washers provide excellent corrosion resistance and are used in a variety of applications.
  • SS 316 Washer: Stainless steel 316 washers offer superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 washers and are used in marine or high-corrosion environments.
  • SS Conical Washer: Featuring a conical shape, these washers provide a spring-like effect and are used to distribute load evenly while allowing for some flexibility.
  • SS Serrated Washer: With serrated edges, these washers prevent loosening and provide a secure grip on the surface.
  • SS Knurling Washer: These washers have a knurled surface that enhances grip and prevents slippage.
  • Conical Washer: Also known as a “conical spring washer,” this type of washer provides elasticity and is used in applications where a bit of movement is necessary.
  • Star Washer: A type of lock washer with star-shaped teeth, these washers are used to prevent loosening and improve grip.
  • External Star Washer: Featuring external teeth that grip the surface, these washers are used to prevent slippage and provide a secure connection.
  • Lock Washer: These washers are designed to prevent loosening of nuts and bolts due to vibration or movement.
  • Plain Washer: A flat washer used to distribute the load and reduce friction between the fastener and the surface.
  • Serrated Washer: Equipped with serrated edges to prevent slippage and provide a secure fit.
  • Spring Washer: A type of washer that provides a spring effect to absorb shock and maintain tension.
  • Wedge Lock Washer: Consists of two washers that lock together to prevent loosening, especially under high vibration conditions.
