Clamping Nut

Clamping nut is a special fastener designed for securing cutting and grinding discs, as well as other working accessories of power tools.

Main types

The following varieties are distinguished:

• Standard nut. This fastener is a flat disc with a thread; a special wrench is required to unscrew it.
• Floating nut. Its lower and upper parts are independent of each other, which ensures easy unscrewing when needed.
• Super flange. Such nuts can be equipped with a special thrust bearing for quick unscrewing, allowing the disc to be removed quickly even if it jams after work.
• Self-clamping — this is a universal option that can be used for all types of angle grinders. It is unscrewed by hand, no special tool is required.

Applications

The purpose of a clamping nut is reliable fixation of the angle grinder’s disc. It presses it tightly to prevent misalignment and jamming of the disc even under very high loads. Using self-clamping nuts improves convenience during work — it protects against the disc “welding” to the nut during operation. Even in that case, it will be easy to replace.
