Mechanical structural engineers know the various types of fastener nuts; how many do you recognize?

When it comes to nuts, I believe we will not be very unfamiliar; nuts are often used with screws to use a fastener. Fasteners with drive systems and internal threads are designed to be combined with externally threaded fasteners to lock fittings, depending on their use and function on the opposite side or shape, with different designs and classifications. Commonly available are Hexagon Nuts, Hexagon Flange Nuts, Hexagon High-Strength Nuts, Square Head Nuts, Nylon Nuts, Cap Nuts, Assemble Washer Nuts, Hexagon Slotted Nuts, Castle Nuts, and Wheel Nuts. Castle Nuts, Wheel Nuts, Welding Nuts, Coupling Nuts, etc.

However, due to the variety of types of nuts, other than the commonly used nuts, different kinds of nuts are less contact, and even senior mechanical engineers don't know much about them. Is there anything you don't know?

The nut and bolts or screws are screwed together to play a role in fastening parts; all production and manufacturing machinery must be used in an original. There are many types of nuts, including common national, British, American, American, and Japanese Japanese materials; nuts are divided into carbon steel, high strength, stainless steel, plastic steel, and other major types. The product attributes corresponding to different national standard numbers are divided into ordinary, non-standard, (old) national standards, the new national standard, the American system, the British system, and the German standard. Nuts are fasteners with internal threads and used in conjunction with bolts, with internal threads and used in conjunction with screws to transfer motion or power mechanical parts. Different sizes and threads are divided into various specifications. General national standard, German standard with M (for example, M8, M16), the American system, the British system is a fraction or # of the specifications (such as eight #, ten #, 1/4, 3/8) fasteners, nuts are mechanical equipment closely connected to the parts, through the inner threads, the exact specifications of the nuts and screws, to be connected, for example, M4-0.7 nuts can only be used with the M4-0.7 with the screw (in). In the nut, M4 refers to the inner diameter of the nut is about 4mm, 0.7 refers to the distance between the two threaded teeth 0.7mm); U.S. products are also the same; for example, 1/4-20 nuts can only be used with 1/4-20 screws (1/4 refers to the inner diameter of the nut is about 0.25 inches, 20 refers to each inch, there are 20 teeth).

Other types of nuts include self-locking nuts, locknuts, locknuts, four-jaw nuts, screw-in nuts, safety nuts, thin-rod screw connecting nuts, self-locking hexagonal cap nuts, special nuts for ground screws, thin hexagonal coronet nuts, and eyebolt nuts.

Nuts from the material classification:

1.SUS304 and SUS316 stainless steel nuts: 304 and 316 stainless steel nuts are the two most common stainless steel materials. Three hundred-four stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion and high-temperature resistance and are suitable for the chemical industry, food processing, pharmaceuticals, shipbuilding, and other fields. Three hundred sixteen stainless steel nuts have a stronger corrosion resistance, which is ideal for using equipment in the sea and coastal areas.

2. Stainless steel duplex nut: stainless steel duplex nut is a new type of material with high strength, toughness, excellent corrosion resistance, and good corrosion resistance. They are used in marine engineering, chemical, petroleum, food, medicine, and other industries in the equipment.

3. Copper, aluminum, and other metal nuts: Copper, aluminum, and other metal nuts are more common. They have good thermal and electrical conductivity and are suitable for some specific areas, such as the transmission of heat dissipation circuit connections and lightweight device connections.

4. Titanium alloy nuts: Titanium alloy nuts are high-strength, low-density metals mainly used in high-demand equipment, such as aircraft, rockets, and other aerospace equipment.

5. Teflon nuts: Teflon nuts are excellently resistant to chemicals and moisture. They are widely used in high-humidity, high-corrosive environments for equipment, such as offshore oil platforms, the chemical industry, and other fields.

Nut Characteristics and Form Classification:

Nuts are a common type of fastener, and they are usually used in conjunction with bolts or screws to connect two or more components. According to different uses and needs, nuts can be classified into several categories; let's learn more about them below.

1. Standard Nuts: Standard nuts are the most common type of nuts, usually consisting of six faces, and are known as hexagonal nuts or hexagonal nuts. They are very versatile and suitable for many different applications and industries.

2. Copper Stud Nuts: Copper stud nuts have high strength and conductivity and are mainly used in electrical engineering and electronic equipment. They usually have a built-in thread for use with copper stud bolts.

3. Tapered nuts: Tapered nuts are typically used to connect parts with tapered surfaces, such as bearings and hubs. They are designed to provide better tightening force and stability to ensure the reliability of the connected parts.

4. Wing Nuts: Wing nuts are special nuts with two flat or curved wings that can be rotated by hand or tool. They are commonly used in applications requiring frequent disassembly and assembly, such as aviation, aerospace, and automotive industries.

5. Locknuts: Locknuts have a unique design that prevents loosening and vibration. They usually have raised, flexible ring locking spacers that provide better-tightening force and efficacy.

In conclusion, nuts can be categorized according to different uses and needs. The right nut type would be best for application needs and environmental conditions. Other nut materials have characteristics and can be selected according to their particular application areas. Suppose you need to manufacture or supply stainless steel Flange Nuts, Hexagon High-Strength Nuts, Square Head Nuts, Nylon Nuts, Cap Nuts, Assembled Washer Nuts, Hexagon Slotted Nuts, Castle Nuts, Wheel Nuts, Welding Nuts, or Coupling Nuts fasteners.
