Flange Nuts
Flange nuts are specialized fasteners featuring a wide flange at one end, designed to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured. This design helps to prevent damage to the material and provides a more secure hold. Flange nuts are available in both serrated and non-serrated options to suit various application needs.
Flange Nuts
Key Features of Flange Nuts:
Wide Flange : The integrated flange distributes pressure evenly over the material, reducing the risk of damage and providing a secure connection.
Serrated and Non-Serrated Options :
Serrated Flange Nuts : The serrations on the flange provide extra grip, reducing the likelihood of the nut loosening under vibration.
Non-Serrated Flange Nuts : Smooth flange surface for applications where a scratch-free finish is important.
Available Sizes of Flange Nuts:
Imperial Sizes : Range from 1-8 to 7/8-9, providing a variety of options for different bolt sizes.
Metric Sizes : Range from M3-0.5 to M20-2.50, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of metric bolts and threaded components.
Applications of Flange Nuts:
Automotive : Commonly used in vehicle assemblies to secure components while distributing load evenly to prevent material damage.
Construction : Ideal for structural applications where secure fastening and load distribution are crucial.
Machinery : Used in machinery and equipment to provide reliable fastening and reduce the risk of loosening under operational stress.
Benefits of Flange Nuts:
Enhanced Grip : Serrated flange nuts provide additional resistance to loosening, ensuring long-term stability.
Load Distribution : The wide flange design helps to distribute pressure, reducing stress on the material and preventing damage.
Versatility : Available in a range of sizes and styles to meet the specific needs of various applications.
