Stainless Steel Nut

A stainless steel nut is a fastener with a through-hole, the inner surface of which has thread with a specified pitch.

The nut forms a detachable threaded connection. It is used together with a stainless bolt, screw, threaded stud or shaft with matching thread.

The shape of the product can vary. The thread is engaged by hand or with a wrench.

Applications

Stainless steel nuts are corrosion-resistant, so they are used in various installation applications. The hex nut is the most versatile.

There are also specialized nuts for specific tasks. Slotted nuts are used in mechanical engineering, aircraft manufacturing and instrument engineering. Castellated nuts are used in connections subject to intensive vibration. Cap nuts are used in the manufacture of furniture and devices, wing nuts — in quick-release connections.

Features

Such nuts are made of steel with the addition of an alloying element. This provides high strength characteristics. The main property is resistance to moisture and temperature.
