Thin hexagon nut with fine pitch thread is a kind of slender and low nut. The fine threads (with more threads per inch) facilitate workers' precise adjustment. They have better shock resistance and prevent the nut from loosening. They are often used in mechanical, electronic or automotive parts.
Thin hexagon nut with fine pitch thread can be installed behind the control panel or in a narrow engine compartment. They are used in precision equipment such as CNC machine tools, medical devices or robots. They are convenient for fine-tuning and more space-saving.
When choosing the appropriate thin hexagon nut with fine pitch thread, the first thing to consider is the thread specification. The diameter of the nut (such as M6, M8) and the pitch (such as 1.0 mm) should match the bolt. We have metric sizes and some imperial sizes to choose from. The height of the nut is approximately half that of the standard nut. Thin hexagon nut with fine pitch thread may get stuck or slip when installed on coarse thread bolts. Please conduct a test before tightening to check the compatibility of the product.
In the electronics manufacturing industry, thin hexagon nut with fine pitch thread is used to assemble the casings of electronic devices. For example, for computers, smart phones or other small electronic devices, these nuts can all protect the casing intact. In circuit board assembly, they can be used to connect small components or fix circuit boards inside the equipment.
The accuracy of standard coarse threads cannot be compared with that of thin hexagon nut with fine pitch thread. Their tolerances are smaller, reducing the clearance during installation. They can distribute the load more evenly, which is very helpful for the installation of metal plates. However, their installation speed is relatively slow. If you have high requirements for the precision of the nut, you can choose them.
