Today I would like to share with you a more common fasteners: flange nut.

Flange nuts are mostly used in pipe connections or workpieces that need to increase the nut contact area. The padded nuts, toothed nuts, flange nuts, etc. we often refer to are also flange nuts. Most of the methods The flange nut is hexagonal and often has a galvanized surface.

The structure of the flange nut has a wide flange at one end, which is equivalent to an integrated washer. This structure can distribute the pressure of the nut to the fixed components, thereby reducing the possibility of component damage, and it is not easy to cause damage due to The fastening surface is uneven and loose.

Some flange nuts are serrated to provide any form of locking action and prevent loosening. The serrations of the toothed flange nut have a special angle, which allows the nut to rotate in the direction to achieve the locking effect. This kind of serration cannot be used with washers, nor can it be used on scratched surfaces.

Some flange nuts have rotating flanges that create a more stable structure and are mainly used for joining wood and plastic.
