A hex flange nylon nut is a hex nut with a nylon insert that has a flange or washer-like extension at the bottom, which allows the nut to spread pressure over a larger area when tightened. This design is typically used in applications where extra tightening and prevention of loosening is required. The nylon insert forms a tight grip with the bolt threads as the nut is tightened, providing the ability to prevent self-loosening.
Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.
Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.
Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.
Advantage:
Vibration Resistance: Nylon inserts rub against the bolt threads inside the nut to help prevent loosening of the nut due to vibration and shock. Temperature Stability: Nylon nuts maintain their locking ability over a wide range of temperatures, and nylon inserts maintain their performance in both high and low temperature environments, ensuring consistent performance. Reusable: Although nylon nuts provide excellent locking ability, they can be removed and reused many times without significantly reducing their effectiveness. Versatility: Nylon nuts are compatible with a wide range of bolt types and materials and can be used in a variety of applications in different industries.
Scope of Application
Automotive industry: For the fixing of automotive components such as wheel assemblies, suspension systems and engine parts. Machine and Manufacturing: Used in manufacturing and machinery to secure moving parts and components. Construction: In construction applications, for anchoring structural components and securing critical connections that must withstand wind pressure, seismic activity and other forces. Aerospace: In aerospace, used in a variety of critical applications to ensure the integrity of aircraft components, including engines, landing gear and avionics. Marine: Ideally suited for marine applications due to its corrosion and vibration resistance, it is used to secure components on boats, ships and offshore structures.
