Shaft collars are useful for holding and positioning components on a shaft. They can also serve as mechanical stops and stroke limiters.

Half as thick as regular hex nuts, these nuts fit into spaces with low height clearances. They are about half as strong as medium-strength steel, and are often used for light duty applications, such as securing access panels. Also known as jam nuts, they can be threaded together to form a locknut that won’t move or loosen due to vibration. When fastening threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone.
Steel nuts are best for dry environments, since exposure to moisture and chemicals will cause them to rust.
Nuts that meet DIN 936 and ISO 4035 (formerly DIN 439B) adhere to international standards for dimensions and material composition to ensure compatibility with other products and tools. Although the DIN 936 and DIN 439B standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.

These nuts are half the height of standard hex nuts, and have closely spaced threads to prevent loosening from vibration. They are not compatible with coarse threads. Half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts, they are often used for light-duty applications, such as fastening signs in place.
Also known as jam nuts, they can be used in place of standard nuts when height clearances are tight, or threaded together to form a locknut. When fastening threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod into place with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone.

Useful in low-clearance applications, these metric nuts are roughly half the height of standard hex nuts, but aren’t as strong. Commonly used as locknuts, threading a thin nut against any other hex nut prevents loosening caused by vibration. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading two of these thin nuts against each other on a threaded rod to create a gripping point for turning the rod without damaging its threads. All are 18-8 stainless steel, which is nearly as strong as steel but won’t rust in outdoor, washdown, and other corrosive environments.
DIN 936 nuts are sometimes taller and wider than ISO 4035 nuts. Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

Used in pairs or with another bearing retaining nut, these jam nuts—often called shaft nuts—hold bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears in place on your threaded shaft or spindle. Threading two nuts tightly against each other makes it harder for vibration to loosen your assembly than if you used only one nut. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. These jam nuts have holes on the side, so you can tighten and loosen them with a pin spanner wrench. Made of carbon steel, they’re strong and wear resistant. All meet DIN 1816, an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions.
