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 Although the DIN 936 and DIN 439B standards are no longer active, they are commonly referenced globally.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 Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.

Designed to slide into T-slot tracks on machine tool tables, use these nuts to secure clamps and workpieces.

Fully threaded nuts allow a stud to extend beyond the bottom of the nut.

Combine these setup studs with T-slot nuts, flanged nuts, setup clamps, or setup blocks to clamp and hold workpieces, vises, and other objects onto your fixturing table. Also known as double-ended studs, they have threads on both ends. One end threads into a T-slot nut or flanged nut inside the table. The other end passes through a setup clamp and secures with a nut and washer. The middle of the stud is unthreaded for gripping and adjusting the stud.

These setup studs are also used to align parts during assembly. One end of the stud is threaded into the part being added, and the other end fits into the mounting hole of the mating part. Because the studs don't have a head, you have the option to thread them into holes from either end, but they require a nut. You can adjust the distance between the mating parts by tightening and loosening the nut.

Steel studs are low- or medium-strength carbon steel. With no protective coating, they have poor corrosion resistance. Avoid using them in humid and damp environments.

With a nylon insert that grips your threaded shaft or spindle without damaging the threads, these locknuts—sometimes called shaft nuts—keep bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys in place. They won’t shake loose from vibration. However, their nylon insert also means you shouldn’t use these locknuts in applications with high temperatures. Their sides are slotted, so you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench. To reduce the total size and weight of your assembly, they have chamfered edges.

All meet international standards for bearing locknut dimensions.

Carbon steel locknuts are strong and wear resistant. Zinc-plated steel locknuts have an outer layer of zinc that prevents the steel from rusting in wet areas. Compared to stainless steel, they're stronger, more wear resistant, and less costly, but not as corrosion resistant. Avoid exposing them to salt water and chemicals.

When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.
