Nut for Axial Centering

The wheel nut, manufactured to the German standard DIN 74361, is designed for fastening and axial centering of wheels. It is a steel fastener with a spherical or flat flange located on one side of the part. It is produced in three types: form A, form B and form C. There are no domestic equivalents to this product.

The differences between DIN 74361 nuts of different types lie in the flange: form A nuts have a spherical flange, form B nuts have a flat flange, while form C nuts are centering spring washers. The nut size and thread diameter depend on the type of fastener. Form A and C nuts have a thread diameter of M12×1.5 – M22×1.5. Form B nuts – M14×1.5 – M22×1.5. The height of the products is 6-8 millimeters.

The main application of wheel nuts is in the automotive industry, for fastening and axial centering of vehicle wheels. The nut size and material are selected in accordance with the specifications and technical requirements of the vehicle manufacturer. The nut is tightened using a special wrench. For reliability and safety, it is recommended to use it with screws whose thread diameter fully matches the nut’s diameter.
