Flange nuts have various specifications that cater to different applications and requirements. Here are some key details:
Materials- Steel: Carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, offering strength and durability.
- Brass: Used in applications where corrosion resistance is important.
- Nylon or plastic: Used in applications where electrical insulation or corrosion resistance is required.
Thread Specifications- Thread size: Ranges from M2 to M24 or more, depending on the application.
- Thread type: Can be coarse or fine, with different thread pitches.
- Thread direction: Can be right-hand or left-hand.
Flange Specifications- Flange size: Varies depending on the nut size and application.
- Flange thickness: Can range from 1mm to 5mm or more.
- Flange shape: Can be circular, hexagonal, or other shapes.
Locking Mechanisms- Nylon insert: Provides a locking mechanism to prevent loosening.
- Distorted thread: Creates a locking mechanism by deforming the thread.
- Other locking mechanisms: Such as prevailing torque or wedge-shaped designs.
Certifications and Standards- DIN: German standard for flange nuts.
- ISO: International standard for flange nuts.
- ASME: American standard for flange nuts.
Applications- Automotive: Used in suspension, steering, and engine mounts.
- Industrial: Used in machinery, equipment, and construction.
- Aerospace: Used in aircraft and spacecraft applications.
Benefits- Increased strength: Provides a stronger hold than standard nuts.
- Reduced risk of damage: Distributes the load, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding material.
- Easy installation: Eliminates the need for a separate washer.
