The nut is located on a threaded rod on the mill head. The machine operator moves it up or down by rotating it clockwise (to move it down) or counter-clockwise (to move it up). Moving the nut down increases the depth to which the cutting tool may plunge into the workpiece. Moving the nut up reduces the depth to which the cutting tool may plunge ...
Jam nut; Jet nut (K-nut) [4] Keps nut (K-nut or washer nut) with a free-spinning washer. In the locknut form, this is a star-type lock washer. Plate nut; Polymer insert nut ; Security locknut All steel reusable nut for high vibration and harsh environments. Serrated face nut; Serrated flange nut; Speed nut (sheet metal nut or Tinnerman nut)
Lock nut, lock-ring, or thimble lock: The knurled component (or lever) that one can tighten to hold the spindle stationary, such as when momentarily holding a measurement. Thimble: The component that one's thumb turns. Screw: (Not visible) The heart of the micrometer, as explained under "Operating principles". It is inside the barrel.
Standard nut employed as a jam nut against another standard nut. A jam nut is a low profile type of nut, typically half as tall as a standard nut. It is commonly used as a type of locknut, where it is "jammed" up against a standard nut to lock the two in place. It is also used in situations where a standard nut would not fit.
A wheel hub with a castellated nut secured in the center using a cotter pin to prevent it from unscrewing. A positive locking device is a device used in conjunction with a fastener in order to positively lock the fastener. This means that the fastener cannot work loose from vibrations. The following is a list of positive locking devices: [1] A ...
A distorted thread locknut, [1] is a type of locknut that uses a deformed section of thread to keep the nut from loosening due to vibrations, or rotation of the clamped item. There are four types: elliptical offset nuts, centerlock nuts, toplock nuts and partially depitched (Philidas) nuts.
An interfering thread nut is a type of locknut that has an undersized root diameter. This creates an interference between the nut and the fastener, plastically deforming the threads on the fastener. Due to this deformation they are usually only used on permanent or semi-permanent installations. [1] A variation of this nut is the tapered thread nut.
A security locknut [1] is a type of industrial fastener composed of two steel threaded parts: a nut body and an elliptical spring steel lock ring. Security locknuts are fastened onto a mating bolt to form a bolted joint. Forces of friction (with elastic deformation), a stretching of the bolt, and compression hold the bolted joint firmly together.
