To make torque type hexagon thin nuts last longer, they get surface treatments like zinc plating (either dipped in molten zinc or electroplated) to prevent rust. Phosphate coatings help them grip better and let paint stick. Special coatings like Dacromet® work in really harsh conditions. Stainless steel nuts get passivated to strengthen their oxide layers. Coatings like Geomet® or Delta-Tone® add lubrication and protection without messing with the locking mechanism. These treatments keep torque type hexagon thin nuts working in wet, salty, or chemical environments while keeping their shape and function.
The torque type hexagon thin nuts comes in metric sizes from M4 to M24 and imperial sizes from 1/4 inch to 1 inch. It follows standards like DIN 980, ISO 7040, and ASME B18.2.2. You'll find both fine and coarse threads to work with different bolt setups. This hexagonal thin nut is 30-50% thinner than ordinary hexagonal nuts and is suitable for small spaces.Xiaoguo® manufacturer support customization and can make special sizes or threads like left-hand threads. The dimensions match standard wrenches and automated tools, making installation easier in factories.
Q: How does the torque type hexagon thin nuts compare to standard nuts with lock washers?
A:Instead of needing lock washers like regular nuts, the torque type hexagon thin nuts has built-in locking. This cuts down on parts and installation time. Its self-locking design stays tight against vibrations, unlike washers that can loosen over time. The slim shape fits into tight spaces, unlike bulkier washer-nut setups. It also avoids problems like washers shifting or causing corrosion between parts. For industries focused on efficiency and reliability, this nut offers a cheaper, maintenance-free option that works better in high-movement situations.
