Single Chamfered Small Hexagon Nuts

The hypotenuse of single chamfered small hexagon nuts allows for smoother bolt alignment. Models are available in M3-M8, stainless steel and carbon steel. It can be used where large nuts cannot be installed.

Product details and parameters

In the electronics industry, the single chamfered small hexagon nuts are used to hold components in devices such as smartphones, laptops and circuit boards. In hard-to-reach locations within the electronic housing, it can be smoothly tightened on the bolt.

In the medical device and aerospace industries, the single chamfered small hexagon nuts are more durable. Like surgical instruments or portable monitors, it's used to hold parts in place without damaging surfaces. It can also be installed inside the aircraft to secure lightweight panels, controls or wiring brackets.

When installing single chamfered small hexagon nuts, the chamfered edge can be aligned with the bolt first to ensure smooth thread connection. You need to use a precision wrench or pliers to gently tighten the nut.

Limitations & Fixes

Single chamfered small hexagon nuts have some limitations. Because of its small size, it cannot withstand large torques like large nuts. If the screw is tightened too tightly, the thread may fall out, causing the nut to be unusable. To avoid thread slippage, it is recommended to use a wrench that fits the nut. When the nut is used in the place of vibration, a drop of thread locking agent can be applied to prevent the nut from rusting.
