T-Slot Nuts: what you need to know about fastening

1. What are DIN508 T-Slot Nuts?

T-slot nuts look like T's and prevent parts from loosening and rotating during installation. They are also available in diamond, square, and other shapes. Bare-stem T-slot nuts without threads are called thin-waisted bolts, suitable for couplings subject to variable forces. There are special high-strength bolts for steel structures; the head will be more prominent, and the size also varies. T-Slot Nuts are a kind of nuts that look like T. T-Slot Nuts are not only easy to install and uninstall but also easy to install the parts in any position, which can significantly improve the productivity of the labor force, and this is the reason that the t-type nuts can be widely used in a variety of milling machines in the T-slot.

These nuts are designed to slide into T-slot tracks on machine tool tables and secure clamps and workpieces.

18-8 Stainless Steel—Stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion resistance. They are a good choice for use with stainless steel parts or in EDM applications. Fully Threaded—Fully threaded nuts allow a stud to extend beyond the bottom of the nut.

Partially Threaded—Partially threaded nuts keep studs from traveling past the bottom of the nut and damaging your table.

2. Appearance and structure: The appearance of T-Slot Nuts is similar to the letter "T," which makes it very easy to install and disassemble, and the parts can be easily installed in any position.

3. Material and specifications: usually made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or non-ferrous metals. Some T-Slot Nuts are made of steel with nickel plating or stainless steel. There are various specifications; for example, the M4/M5 size of 20 profile is 6mm wide, 35mm high at the bottom, and 10mm long; the M4/M5/M6 size of 30 profile is 8mm wide, 5mm high at the bottom, and 16mm long, and the specifications of 40 and 45 profiles are also different.

4. Application Scenario: Due to their unique structure and easy installation, T-slot nuts are widely used in various mechanical and manufacturing fields, especially in equipment that needs quick fastening and adjustment, such as the T-slot of the milling machine, fixing railroad sleepers, and glass curtain walls. The ease of mounting and unloading and mounting parts in any position significantly increases labor productivity, which is why T-slot nuts are widely used in the T-slots of various milling machines.

5. Technical Requirements and Processing: T-slot nuts are usually made of free-cutting steel with specific sulfur, phosphorus, and lead content. Sometimes, alloying elements are added to enhance the mechanical properties and are treated by quenching and tempering. Thread machining is mainly done by thread rolling to improve compatibility. Nut heads are usually made using the rolling technique.

6. Installation method: Snap T-Slot Nuts into the groove along the aluminum profile, install the shrapnel flat washer, and tighten it with a screwdriver. To summarize, T-Slot Nuts occupy a place in the fastener market due to their unique structural design, and their various materials and specifications meet the needs of different application scenarios.
