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
Serrated flange nuts. A flange nut is a nut that has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated washer.This serves to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of damage to the part and making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface.
The bolt end is typically hex-shaped, but may exceptionally be round to make removal more difficult. The hex diameter is 3/16", or 4.7mm. A 5mm hex socket might still fit, however where tightening or removal is required, care needs to be taken to select a nut driver with a sufficiently small outer diameter, as clearance between the jackpost and ...
A G-nut, or G-style nut, is shaped like a "G" and clips to the edge of a sheet metal object. It is different from all of the other types in that it is meant to clip over a small flange on the edge of the sheet metal. The threads are from an integrated nut that has a special boss to sit in a hole in the sheet metal. [2]
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 ...
A locknut, also known as a lock nut, locking nut, self-locking nut, prevailing torque nut, [1] stiff nut [1] or elastic stop nut, [2] is a nut that resists loosening under vibrations and torque. Prevailing torque nuts have some portion of the nut that deforms elastically to provide a locking action. [ 2 ]
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]
A split beam nut, also known as a split hex nut [1] or slotted beam nut, [2] is a locknut with slots cut in the top that separate the outside end into two [3] or more sections that are bent slightly inward, making the thread diameter undersized in the slotted portion.
