The Unified Thread Standard (UTS) defines a standard thread form and series—along with allowances, tolerances, and designations—for screw threads commonly used in the United States and Canada. It is the main standard for bolts, nuts, and a wide variety of other threaded fasteners used in these countries.
Steel nuts are strong and great for construction, while stainless steel ones resist rust, perfect for outdoor use. Brass nuts, corrosion-resistant, find their place in electrical and plumbing work. Lock nuts, like nylon-insert or prevailing torque types, prevent loosening due to vibration or torque, catering to specific needs across industries.
British Standard Whitworth (BSW) is an imperial-unit-based screw thread standard, devised and specified by Joseph Whitworth in 1841 and later adopted as a British Standard. It was the world's first national screw thread standard, and is the basis for many other standards, such as BSF , BSP , BSCon , and BSCopper .
Where the rotation of a shaft would cause a conventional right-handed nut to loosen rather than to tighten due to applied torque or to fretting induced precession. Examples include: The left foot pedal on a bicycle [2] The left grinding wheel on a bench grinder; The axle nuts, or less commonly, lug nuts on the left side of some automobiles
Hexagon thin slotted nuts and castle nuts with metric coarse and fine pitch thread – Product grades A and B: Active: DIN 980: All-metal prevailing torque type hexagon nuts: Withdrawn: DIN EN ISO 7042, DIN EN ISO 10513: ISO 7042, ISO 10513: DIN 981: Locknuts for use with rolling bearings: Active: DIN 982: Prevailing torque type hexagon nuts ...
A screw thread, often shortened to thread, is a helical structure used to convert between rotational and linear movement or force. A screw thread is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone in the form of a helix, with the former being called a straight thread and the latter called a tapered thread.
Fastener terminology of hex nuts: d: Nominal thread diameter k: Wrench size (width across flats) h: Thickness e: Width across corners = Width across flats is the distance between two parallel surfaces on the head of a screw, bolt or nut. The width across flats will define the size of the spanner or wrench needed.
United States Standard thread (USS thread), also known as Sellers Standard thread, [1] Franklin Institute thread [1] and American Standard thread, [2] is a standard for inch based threaded fasteners and washers. [3] The USS standard is no longer supported. It, together with the SAE fastener standard, was incorporated into the Unified Thread ...
