Structural features: Flange nuts, also known as gasket nuts, toothed nuts, hexagonal flange face nuts or flange nuts, are characterized by integrating the functions of gaskets and nuts.
Dimensions and Specifications: The dimensions and thread specifications of flange nuts are basically the same as those of ordinary hexagonal nuts, but specifications below M20 are more common because they are mainly used for pipe and flange connections .
Material and treatment: Flange nuts can be made of iron or stainless steel and are usually electroplated to adapt to different environments and requirements. Electroplating types include both environmentally friendly and non-environmentally friendly ones, such as environmentally friendly colored zinc, environmentally friendly nickel, environmentally friendly blue zinc, and environmentally friendly black zinc, etc.
Working principle: The wide-bottom circular flange of the flange nut helps to evenly distribute the load pressure of the nut over a larger surface area, enhancing the stability and vibration resistance of the connection. Some flange nuts have a serrated locking action, which helps prevent the nuts from loosening due to vibration.
Application scenarios: Flange nuts are widely used in pipe connections and other workpieces that require an increase in the contact surface of the nuts. They are particularly useful on assembly lines because they allow workers to speed up the workflow.
In conclusion, the characteristics of flange nuts lie in their unique structural design, applicable size specifications, diverse material treatments, efficient working principle, and wide range of application scenarios.
