Thin Profile Hex Nut

The majority of machinery and equipment can be fastened with these Grade 5 or Class 8 nuts. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation. 

These nuts, which are rated Class 10, Grade 8, or C, are around 25% stronger than medium-strength steel nuts. They are frequently used to secure parts in high-stress applications such as motors, pumps, and valves. Make sure your screw has a similar strength rating to prevent stripped threads during installation. 

These nuts are almost half as strong as medium-strength nuts and are rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower. They work well for light-duty fastening tasks like locking access panels. In order to prevent thread stripping during installation, use them with screws that have a comparable strength grade. 

Grade 2 Titanium: Lightweight like aluminum and as corrosion-resistant as 316 stainless steel, these nuts combine the greatest qualities of both materials. Compared to other typical titanium grades like Grades 5 and 9, Grade 2 titanium is much more corrosion resistant because it is 99% pure. Because they can withstand severe chemicals and strong acids, these nuts are perfect for use in chemical processing and water treatment plants. 

Commonly employed in robotics, automation, and other applications with weight restrictions, 6061 aluminum nuts are one-third the weight of steel. Although they are not as robust, they are a rust-resistant substitute for stainless steel. 

These rust-resistant nuts are ideal for outdoor and damp settings. 

Silicon BronzeThese nuts are a suitable option for maritime areas because they are more resistant to salt water than brass. In addition, they are more resilient to wear and abrasion and stronger than brass. Select them for situations where adjacent components might rub against the nut, such as machinery with moving parts. 

Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are frequently used to fasten electrical components inside enclosures, including mounting brackets and circuit board assemblies. They won't harm other fastening elements because they are softer than most metals. 

The most popular plastic nuts, nylon 6/6, work well for a variety of fastening applications. They thread on smoothly and withstand normal wear and tear since they are abrasion-resistant and slippery. These nuts work best in dry conditions since moisture causes nylon to swell and weaken.
