Do you know the benefits of Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts) in industrial structures and use industry solutions?

What are Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts)?

Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts) is a kind of fastener with a cap shape, usually used to protect the threads and prevent dust, moisture, or other corrosive substances from entering the inside of the threads. Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts), as the name implies, are hexagonal nuts with a cap; the role of this cap is to fasten the outside of the exposed portion of the cap, preventing moisture or other corrosive substances from entering the inside to play a role in preventing rust, thus improving its own and the connecting parts. Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts) are designed to prevent moisture or other corrosive substances from entering the inside of the nut, thereby preventing it from rusting and thus improving the life of the nut itself and its connectors. Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts) are usually designed to include a hexagonal flange face structure, sometimes called a dust cap or guard nut. The radial dimensions of these nuts are typically intended to be smaller than regular hexagon nuts, which not only helps to increase the rust resistance and longevity of the connection but also provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Acorn Hexagon Nuts (Cap Nuts) are typically made of brass, steel, stainless steel (low carbon content), or nylon and may be chrome-plated and mirror-finished. They are used in various applications, such as automotive, marine, electrical equipment, construction machinery, and electrical control boxes.

Different sizes of studs selected cap nuts of various sizes, while long studs used higher cap nuts. Self-locking cap nuts also have twisted threads in the hex area to create a tight friction fit and prevent the nut from loosening due to vibration.
