Product Description:
Round nuts are specialized fasteners engineered with a cylindrical outer profile and internal threads, designed to deliver superior locking performance in high-vibration or dynamic-load environments. Unlike standard hex nuts, their circular shape allows installation in confined spaces and enables tool engagement from multiple angles.
Key Features & Advantages:
360° Tool Access: External grooves/spanner flats accommodate hook wrenches, pins, or C-spanners for secure tightening in restricted areas.
Vibration Resistance: Locking variants (e.g., nylon inserts, flange designs) prevent self-loosening under shock loads (compliant with DIN 981, ASME B18.13).
Material Versatility: Available in carbon steel (Grade 8.8/10.9), stainless steel (A2/A4), and brass, with optional zinc plating or dacromet coating for corrosion protection.
High Load Distribution: Full-body design minimizes stress concentration, enhancing joint integrity in pulleys, bearings, and rotating shafts.
Typical Applications:
▶️ Bearing retention in industrial machinery
▶️ Adjusting mechanisms on valves and actuators
▶️ Securing components in automotive transmissions
▶️ Mounting fixtures for robotics and aerospace assemblies
Custom Options:
Sizes: M3 to M100 (metric) / #4 to 4" (imperial)
Locking Types: Nylon insert, all-metal lock, serrated flange
Surface Treatments: Passivation, hot-dip galvanizing, Xylan® coating
Key Features:
Circular Body: Optimized for confined spaces (e.g., bearing housings, valve stems) where hexagonal tools cannot rotate.
Surface Variants:
Smooth Finish: For low-friction rotation in precision instruments.
Knurled Grip: Diamond or straight knurls (0.3–0.8mm pitch) enhance manual installation/removal in maintenance-intensive systems (ASME B94.6).
