Types of Nuts and Their Characteristics

Nut - a kind of threaded fasteners through which you can capture good fasteners. Modern nut IS a specialized part, which is produced with a specific internal thread. Nut is a fastening element, which is the perfect complement to the fastener screw unit. Today, there are many types of fasteners: castellated, low flange, square, etc. Production of nuts on the corresponding factories made from nonferrous metal, stainless, alloy or carbon steel.

Over the years, the nut is used as a constituent element of the fastening system in any industrial sector. Today there are many different kinds of nuts, differing among themselves, thread size, purpose, form. To better understand the challenges, opportunities nut consider in more detail the main types of hardware.

1. Hex. This type of fastening elements (e.g. plastic standoffs nut) is quite common and can be used in any industrial sector. A characteristic feature of the "hex" is the presence of a chamfer (not required). For comfortable work with hardware specialists use a wrench, the size of which is selected according to the size of the nut.
2. Crown. A characteristic feature is the presence of the fastener on one side end of a few small grooves, whose number is always even.  o work with such kind of nuts should be used, not only a screw or bolt, but the pin. It helps to fix the position of the nut without the possibility of spontaneously unwind. Application: Connection of elements with high physical, vibratory loads.
3. Cap. It is used for protection, masking fastening. The outer shape is made on a "hex". The greatest spread of the cap nut is received in the factories for the manufacture of furniture, business centers (when necessary to prevent mechanical damage to the protruding end of the fixture).
4. Lamb. A characteristic feature of 'lamb' is the nuts geometric shape: the original projections resemble ears blades. Using the wing nut is done by hand, without the use of additional tools. The unique shape of the nut makes it possible to fix the elements together tightly as possible. It can be used as a decorative element, the coupling.

BTW, you can select the nuts at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other electrical accessories (e.g. hex shank adapter) there with high quality and reasonable prices.
