product description

Threaded nuts come in diverse shapes and sizes to address various application needs, yet the fundamental idea remains straightforward.

Essentially, a nut serves as a threaded component capable of accommodating a male thread (such as a screw, bolt, or stud) and is employed to connect two parts together through rotational force.

A prevalent nut design features a hexagonal body with internal threading, where the length is usually shorter than the outer diameter. This hex body allows for the application of torque to either tighten or loosen the connection.

Application

The general form of a nut is so widely applicable that it’s difficult to narrow the scope without discussing more unique variations such as floating nuts, blind nuts, or flush nuts.

Common applications are as simple as fastening a stop sign to an aluminum post, or as critical as bolting two pipes together in a sewer system.

The range of applications that use the general form of a threaded nut will typically result in different material decisions rather than design decisions, such as using high tensile strength bolts or lightweight, plastic nuts.
