Cage nuts are widely used in mounting equipment inside server racks, electrical cabinets, and telecommunication enclosures, providing a strong and thread-flexible mounting solution.
Wing nuts are designed with two wings that allow them to be tightened or loosened by hand without the need for additional tools, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent disassembly.
Acorn nuts, also known as cap nuts, feature a domed top that covers the exposed thread of a bolt. This provides a clean, finished appearance and prevents injury from sharp threads.
A washer nut (or flange nut) has an integrated washer-like base that distributes the clamping pressure over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of damage to the mating material and resisting loosening.
Square nuts provide a greater surface contact area with the fastened material, which offers higher resistance to loosening. They are commonly used in channels, slots, and heavy industrial machinery.
Industrial hex nuts are commonly manufactured from carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. Coatings such as zinc plating or hot-dip galvanizing are often applied to enhance corrosion resistance.
