JM Hardware® Brass Insert Nut

Speed nuts, also known as spring nuts or sheet metal nuts, are locknuts made from spring steel. The fastener is designed with two sheet metal prongs that act as one thread. It functions both as a lock washer and a nut and when it is tightened the base of the nut, which arched, applies a force to the fastener locking it from loosening under vibrationsThe U-nut is a fastener composed of two flaps in clip form with two external raised thread forms. The design of this nut means that a double elastic force is exerted when tightened. This nut can be held in place manually when tightening. No special tools are required to mount U-nuts, and they can be assembled much more quickly and easily than conventional nuts. The self-locking feature means that costly operations such as tapping, welding or riveting can be avoided. It can also be used with fragile materials such as glass, plastic or enameled surfaces. In these cases the resilience of the nut avoids cracks or damage to the application area.This nut locks with tightening torques much lower than for standard nuts due its great resilience.It is normally mounted on the edge of a panel but it can also be used in a rectangular mounting hole in the middle of a panel.

JM Hardware is your hassle-free source for high-quality finished hex nuts in all types of sizes, grades, and materials. We will work with you to find the perfect hex nut for your jobHex nuts have an interior thread that is used to screw the nut onto a hex bolt with matching thread. The use of hex nuts provides a strong, secure join with the bolt that is able to withstand high wear, stress and strain. As a result, hex nuts and bolts are used in many industrial applications that require a strong join that will hold under high wear, movement and heavy loads. Common uses include machinery, engines, motors, industrial equipment and furniture.Finished hex nuts provide premium fastening security for all types of construction applications. Whether your project requires Grade 5, Grade 8, Din 934, metric, or left hand hex nuts, there is a fastener option that will meet your project’s requirements. Finished hex nuts are manufactured with a wide range of finish options to provide the corrosion resistance and protection you need in all types of environments.

Nylon Insert Lock nuts have a nylon ring that when tightened on a bolt, resists loosening under all types of vibrations and torque. JM Hardware nylon insert locknuts are available in a variety of sizes and materials including low and medium carbon, heat treatable steel grades, including non-ferrous materials.If you are looking for a threaded fastener that will resist loosening, then nylon insert locknuts are the best solution for your project. Used for industrial purposes or in the Aerospace industry, this fastener is reliable and durable.

Square nuts have a large surface area, which resists tightening and loosening. Square nuts are commonly used in furniture, metal channels, and railroad applications.Square nuts and hex square nuts have four equal sides. These nuts have a flat bottom side and a chamfered top-side and can be used in a channel or welded in place.The aptly named four-sided square nuts are internally threaded fasteners with a large bearing surface that ensure complete adherence. These durable nuts can easily be installed using a hand wrench

Flange Nuts have flat and serrated designs designed to act as an integrated, non- spinning washer, eliminating the need for a separate washer. Serrated flange nuts are fabricated with a built in serrated washer that resist loosening due to vibration.Flange nuts have a washer-like base to distribute pressure over a greater surface area and ensure the fastener stay tight. They are commonly used in manufacturing assembly lines where operations are speeded by using a single fastener instead of a nut and washer.

Wing nuts have wing a shaped protrusion designed for speed and convenience that are tightened and loosened by hand. Wing nuts are ideal in speedy marine applications where it is harder to use tools in any kind of intricate work on the open sea.When you need to loosen and tighten fasteners frequently without the use of tools, wing nuts are the best solution. Named for their “wing” shaped protrusions, wing nuts allow for someone to tighten and loosen by hand. 

Slotted nuts, also known as castellated nuts, have grooved heads that align with holes in the mated bolt to accept the insertion of a cotter pin, locking the nut in place. They are commonly used to ensure that shaft components in certain automotive assemblies do not separate or to maintain machine settings in manufacturing environments.Slotted Hex Nuts have opposed slots cut into the top of the hex nut through the center of flats. Slots are cut into the non-bearing surface of the nut. Used for general purpose fastening and locking, slotted hex nuts can be used with cotter pins or safety wire through the slots and through the hole drilled shank of the fastener.

Acorn Nuts have a crown, or dome, covering. Since they have a closed top, acorn nuts are chosen for safety reasons. They prevent contact with external threads and protect the threads from rubbing against anything else. They can be reused, as their dome fastener head protects from stripping of screws and bolts. Additionally, the dome-like appearance gives a more finished look.Acorn nuts, also known as cap nuts or crown hex nuts, are used to protect or conceal threads on plumbing fixtures and industrial machinery. Fastener Solutions offers a variety of stainless steel, zinc, and nickel plated acorn nuts
