What is a hexagonal nut? What are Serrated Flange Locknuts?

1. Hexagonal nut: Hexagonal nut is a threaded fastener with six faces commonly used in machines, equipment, furniture, and other areas of connection and fixing. Hex nuts can be used in various applications under normal operating loads and matched to any threaded bolt. A hexagonal nut is a standard fastener with six equal corners, hence the hexagonal nut. It holds two or more components together to maintain a tight connection and achieve a stable structure. Hex nuts can be used with bolts, screws, or machine screws to prevent parts from loosening or falling off by torquing these fasteners. The design of hex nuts makes them easier to use with a wrench or wrench than other nuts, making them an easy-to-use fastener for engineers and skilled workers. In addition, hexagonal nuts can be categorized into three types according to their nominal thickness: Type I, Type II, and Thin Type. Different types of hexagonal nuts are used in various applications, such as on machines, equipment, and structures with minor surface roughness and high requirements for accuracy or on machines, equipment, or structures with large surface roughness and low requirements for accuracy.

2. Serrated Flange Locknuts: Serrated Flange Locknuts are hexagonal nuts with a flanged face commonly used in applications where additional support and stability are required, usually in high pressure, high temperature, or high load environments. Serrated Flange Locknuts are commonly used nuts with a hexagonal shape and a flanged surface that allows them to be tightly connected to other parts, so they are widely used in the assembly of machinery and equipment.

Serrated Flange Locknuts are mainly composed of several aspects, such as size, material, surface treatment, and thread. Among them, the size refers to the external dimensions of the nut, including the thread size, external diameter, and height of the hexagonal nut, which are determined according to the national standard. Material refers to the nut material, usually metal, such as steel, aluminum, copper, etc., and can also be plastic. Surface treatment refers to the treatment of the surface of the nut, generally galvanized, chrome-plated, silver-plated, and other therapies to improve the corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the nut. Thread refers to the thread of the nut. Generally, there are ordinary threads, thin tooth threads, self-locking threads, etc. Depending on the different requirements, choose various types of threads.

Medium-Strength Steel Serrated Flange Locknuts—Grade 5: 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.

Components of Hexagonal Nuts and Hexagonal Flange Nuts

1. Hexagonal nut: A hexagonal nut consists of a round nut and internal threads, hexagonal in appearance. Generally, we have to first sub-fine teeth nuts and coarse teeth nuts, but in fact, no matter what fine teeth or coarse teeth, their specifications are the same; their metric specifications are M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, and so on. But there are also British, American hexagon nuts, #6-32, #8-3, #10-32, 1/4-20",1/4-28",5/16-18",3/8-16",1/2-13 ", etc.

2. Hex Flange Nuts: Hex Flange Nuts consist of a round nut with a flange face and internal threads. A Hexagonal Flange Nut has six prongs; its special place is the nut face plate, which has a specific flange shape, using most of the bolt's steel structure connectors for the hexagonal head.

It has the following characteristics:

(1). Simple structure, easy to install;

(2). Firm and reliable, high safety and reliability;

(3). Wide application, the use of a variety of fields;

(4). Rich materials, different materials to adapt to different use environments;

(5). High degree of standardization, easy to call, universal.

Applicable scenes of Hexagonal Nuts and Hexagonal Flange Nuts Industry Solutions

1. Hexagon nuts: mainly applicable to ordinary working environments, such as furniture, machinery, and other general scenes.

Hexagon nuts (Hexagon nut) and bolts, screws used in conjunction with the role of connecting fastening machine parts. Type I hexagon nuts are the most widely used, C-class nuts for surface roughness, precision requirements of the machine, equipment, or structure; A-class and B-class nuts for the surface are more polished, higher precision requirements of the machine, equipment, or structure.II type hexagon nut thickness m is thicker, often used when needed to assemble and disassemble the occasions. Hexagonal thin nut thickness m is thinner and is mainly used to connect to the surface space of the machine parts on limited occasions. Nuts are fasteners that have internal threads and are used with bolts, as well as mechanical parts that have internal threads and are used with screws to transmit motion or power.

A nut is a nut, a part that is screwed together with a bolt or screw to hold it in place. It is an original part that must be used in all production machinery. There are many types of nuts. We commonly see National, British, American, and Japanese Standards.

Standard Nuts. Depending on the material, nuts are categorized into carbon steel, high strength, stainless steel, plastic steel, and other major types. The product properties corresponding to the standard number of countries are divided into ordinary, non-standard, (old) national, new, and American standards. Inch,

German Standard. Threads of different sizes are divided into various specifications. Usually, the national and German standards are expressed in M (e.g., M8, M16). At the same time, the American and British systems use decimals or # to indicate the specifications (e.g., eight #, ten #, 1 / 4, 3 / 8)) Fasteners and nuts are tightly connected parts of machinery and equipment. The exact specifications of internal threads, nuts, and screws can connect them. For example, M4-0.7 nuts can only be used with M4-0.7 screws (in nuts, M4 means that the inner diameter of the nut is about 4mm, and 0.7 means that the distance between the two threads is 0.7mm); the same is true for U.S. products, e.g., 1/4-20 nuts can only be matched with 1/4-20 screws (1/4 means that the inner diameter of the nut is about 0.25 inch, and 20 means that there are 20 teeth per (1/4 means the nut has an inside diameter of about 0.25 inches, 20 means there are 20 teeth per inch).

2. Hexagonal Flange Nuts are mainly used in high-pressure, high-temperature, or high-load environments, such as the chemical industry, energy, and other areas.

Size standards: Hexagonal Flange Nuts are available in international and imperial standard sizes, which are specified in GB, DIN, BS, and ANSI/ASME standards. Size standardization ensures interchangeability and universality between products.

Material standards: steel, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, etc., are common hexagonal Flange Nuts materials; the material standards mainly include GB, ASTM, DIN, BS, JIS, etc., and by the performance characteristics of the material and the use of the environment to select the appropriate material.

Surface treatment standard: Generally, the surface treatment of Hexagonal Flange Nuts takes anti-rust treatment, including galvanized, nickel-plated, electroplated, etc., as stipulated in GB and DIN standards.
