Characteristics of hexagonal flange face nuts and application solutions

What is a hexagonal flange nut?

Hexagonal flange face nut mainly includes the nut body; one end of the nut body is fixed with a flange face, and the other end of the nut body is fixed with a cap due to the nut body is set on the cap, and thus, in the use of the hexagonal flange face nut has a better sealing, can effectively prevent the rain, moisture, dust and other harmful substances from immersing into the nut body, from avoiding the body of the nut to prevent the occurrence of corrosion phenomenon, which can significantly extend the life of the hexagonal flange face nut. Face nuts can dramatically extend the service life.

A hexagonal flange face nut is a fastener that can be fixed in mechanical equipment through six threaded holes. It has a hexagonal shape with a series of threaded holes on the surface, which is used to improve the equipment with bolts. Flange nuts are hexagonal flange face nuts, nuts with pads, flower tooth nuts, and flange nuts. Unlike ordinary hexagonal nuts, flange nuts are gaskets and nuts in one piece, with a wide flange at one end and non-slip teeth underneath, which increases the contact area between the nut and the surface of the workpiece, and the sawtooth flange distributes the pressure of the nut on the part to be fixed to produce a locking effect to prevent loosening.

Comparison of Hexagon Flange Face Nuts with Other Types of Nuts

Hex Flange Face Nuts offer a larger contact area and better tightening than standard square hex nuts. Compared to self-locking nuts, hexagon flange face nuts are more compact and better suited for tight spaces. Compared with other nuts, hexagon flange face nuts have better corrosion and high-temperature resistance. These flange locknuts have serrations that grip the material surface instead of the threads for easy installation and mild vibration resistance. The flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. Made from Grade 5 steel, they're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment. Height includes the flange. Black-oxide steel flange locknuts mildly resist corrosion and have a dark surface color.

Zinc-plated steel flange locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments. Made from 18-8 stainless steel, these flange locknuts have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic. Serrations grip the material surface instead of the threads for easy installation and mild vibration resistance. The flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. Height includes the flange.

How do you choose and use hexagonal flange face nuts correctly?

The following points should be noted when selecting and using hexagonal flange face nuts:

1. Select the appropriate material and specification according to the working environment and requirements of the equipment.

2. Use a torque wrench to achieve the correct tightening torque.

3. check and maintain the nuts regularly to ensure their regular operation.

4. When using hexagonal flange face nuts, attention should be paid to the quality and specification of the bolts that match the screw holes.

A hexagonal flange face nut is a kind of fastener with excellent performance, which has a larger contact area, better fastening effect, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in machinery and equipment, the automotive industry, aerospace, petroleum and chemical industry, the railroad industry, and other fields. Proper selection and use of hexagonal flange face nuts can improve the reliability and safety of equipment. Serrations grip the material surface instead of the threads for easy installation and mild vibration resistance. The flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. They're about 25% stronger than medium-strength steel flange locknuts. Height includes the flange. Zinc-plated steel flange locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments. Metric Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316

Stainless Steel Serrated Flange Locknuts

Made from 316 stainless steel, these flange locknuts resist chemicals and salt water. They have serrations that grip the material surface instead of the threads for easy installation and mild vibration resistance. The flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. Height includes the flange. Metric 316 stainless steel is also known as A4 stainless steel. Nuts may be mildly magnetic.

Brass Serrated Flange Locknuts

Made from brass, these flange locknuts are corrosion-resistant in wet environments, electrically conductive, and nonmagnetic. They're easy to install and resist mild vibration since serrations grip the material surface instead of the threads. The flange distributes pressure on the material surface, so you don't need a separate washer. Height includes the flange.

Characteristics of Flange Face Nuts

Nuts with hexagonal flanges are collectively known as flange face nuts. Due to the excellent properties of flange nuts, they are very commonly used. Flange nuts are usually used with many screws and bolts. The use of flange nuts not only provides better fastening properties but also allows the flange surface to better match the screws and bolts. It is widely used because it tightens better than hex nuts. The basics of flange nuts are usually made of iron, but stainless steel can also be used.

1. Welding: the need to connect the two piping ports of the left and right two tapered flange flange needs to be welded with tungsten argon arc welding (TIG welding); note that the flange is used here with grooves; this flange flange flange with flange on both sides of the gasket embedded with;

2. Gasket: On the left and right sides of the two pieces of flange lined with a double-sided flange gasket between the pieces;

3. Piping: first of all, you need to use a professional cutting blade mounted on the wheel cutter or pipe cutter, and then cut the stainless steel pipe vertically by the required length; the cutting is complete, you also need to cut down the end of the trimming and rounding;

4. Fastening: you need to use the clamp to fix the two flanges and then use the fastening screws, that is, hexagonal bolts, to fasten the handle or clamp flange. Note: the fastening mentioned above handle refers to the external thread end through the fixed rivets live connection, the other end, and the handle of the internal thread connection.

Flange surface nuts are sometimes plated to meet the customer's desired color. Plating also has environmental and non-environmental points. Plating of more types, such as more expensive environmental protection nickel, environmental protection zinc, environmental protection black zinc, environmental protection color zinc, etc., of course, there are also cheaper ordinary plating, such as white nickel, white zinc, color zinc, black zinc and so on. In a word, environmental protection is more expensive than non-environmental protection. Medium-Strength Steel Nylon-Insert Flange Locknuts—Grade F These locknuts have a nylon insert that firmly grips threads to resist loosening and a flange that distributes the load over a large area. They're reusable, but their holding power lessens with each use. Made from Grade F steel, they're comparable in strength to Grade 5 bolts and are suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment. Height includes the flange.

Black-oxide steel flange locknuts mildly resist corrosion and have a dark surface color.

Zinc-plated steel flange locknuts resist corrosion in wet environments. High-strength steel Distorted-Thread Flange Locknuts

An irregularly shaped thread grips the bolt for a stronger hold than nylon-insert flange locknuts. Their flange distributes pressure where the nut meets the material surface, eliminating the need for a separate washer. Grade G locknuts are comparable in strength to Grade 8 bolts. The height includes the flange.

Black-oxide steel locknuts are mildly corrosion-resistant.
