The hexagonal shape has become the leading form in which bolts and nuts are made, and there is a good reason for this: Hexagonal fasteners are easier to turn. Bolts and nuts can have dozens of different shapes, but only the hexagonal shape allows them to be turned easily. This is why they are used in so many things around the world – from kids’ toys to automobiles, and everything in between. There are several benefits to using hex bolts and nuts, including a smoother turning surface, better load-bearing capacity, increased resistance to vibration, and more.
Hexagonal Thin Nuts are a specific type of hex nut that has been engineered with finer threads than standard hex nuts. They can be used in applications where space is limited, precision is critical, or a specific thread pitch requirement must be met. These hex nuts provide superior load-bearing capacity and an excellent fit with bolts, screws, or threaded rods while providing a neat and unobtrusive connection.
These hex nuts are available in several sizes to suit your application and are manufactured from high-quality grade 2 stainless steel that is highly durable and resistant to corrosion. They are designed for use with anchors, screws, threaded rods, and studs to close or complete a fastening. They can be used with a wrench to tighten or loosen. Compared to standard hex nuts, these thin hex nuts offer a smoother turning surface, better load-bearing capability, increased resistance to vibration, and more.
Also known as hex jam nuts, hex jam bolts, or six-sided nuts, these fasteners are typically used in conjunction with hex-headed bolts to create a secure connection. They are also often used in low-clearance applications where it may be difficult to fasten a standard hex nut.
Hex jam nuts are a good alternative to using a washer with a hex nut in low-clearance situations. While washers do help to prevent the hex nut from working loose, they require an additional part to be added to the assembly, which can increase inventory overhead and add to the overall cost of the project. Chengyue Fasteners offers both chamfered and un-chamfered versions of these nuts, which are also offered in a range of thread sizes for your convenience.
Having a smoother turning surface than hex nuts, these thin hex bolts and nuts are perfect for applications where space is limited. They can be used to fasten soft materials that would break if they were attached to a thicker fastener. These bolts and nuts are commonly used in furniture, household appliances, and building frames. They are available in a variety of sizes to suit your needs, and can be fabricated in a wide array of materials.
