A self-aligning nut, also known as a spherical nut [2] or leveling nut, is a type of nut used in applications where the fastener is not perpendicular to the surface to which the nut anchors. A flange nut is used inside a specially shaped dished-out washer. The device is commonly used in the aerospace industry.
Image Description Acorn nut (cap nut) Crown hex nut, blind nut, cap nut, domed cap nut, or dome nut A nut that has a domed end on one side Barrel nut: Steel cross dowel or dowel nut, cross dowel (woodworking) A round slug or formed sheet metal part with threads perpendicular to the length of the nut Cage nut: Caged nut, captive nut, clip nut
A coupling nut A coupling nut and its orthographic view. A coupling nut, also known as extension nut, is a threaded fastener for joining two male threads, most commonly a threaded rod, [1] [2] but also pipes. [3] The outside of the fastener is usually hexagonal so a wrench can hold it.
They may either have a Phillips flat head or a slotted hex washer head. Nominal (thread) sizes range from 0.1875 to 0.375 in (4.763 to 9.525 mm) and lengths from 1.25 to 5 in (32 to 127 mm). Typically an installer uses a hammer drill to make a pilot hole for each concrete screw and a powered impact driver to drive the screw. The drill hole ...
Sleeve nuts, one with mating bolt. A sex bolt is a type of fastener comprising a mated pair of screw and post, which are a machine screw and a nut that is barrel-shaped. The nut has a flange and a protruding boss that is internally threaded. The bolt (mated pair, screw and post) sits within the components being fastened, and the flange provides ...
A jet nut, [1] also known as a k-nut, [1] [2] [3] is a special type of hex locknut that is commonly used in the aerospace and automotive racing industries. [3]It has a flange on one end of the nut, the hex is smaller than a standard sized hex nut, and it is shorter than a standard hex nut.
An acorn nut. An acorn nut, also referred to as crown hex nut, blind nut, cap nut, domed cap nut, or dome nut (UK), is a nut that has a domed end on one side. When used together with a threaded fastener with an external male thread, the domed end encloses the external thread, either to protect the thread or to protect nearby objects from contact with the thread.
Some nuts do not attach to the workpiece. These are usually shaped as either a rectangle, a flange nut, or a hex nut; the rectangular speed nut is also known as a flat-style speed nut. Speed nuts that attach to the workpiece usually are some form of a J-nut or U-nut. [2] [3]
