    Thin-Profile Hex Nuts

    About half the height of standard-profile nuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against another hex nut to hold it in place.
    Medium-Strength Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Thin-Profile Hex Nuts.
    These Grade 5 or Class 04 nuts are your go-to for fastening most machinery and equipment. To avoid stripped threads during installation, make sure your screw has a comparable strength rating.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A step up from plain steel, the zinc plating withstands occasional exposure to moisture.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With a more durable finish than clear zinc plating, these nuts are suitable for most wet and outdoor environments. However, they won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that stainless steel can.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these nuts to rust.
    Blue Dyed Steel—These metric-sized nuts have a distinctive blue color, so you can easily tell them apart from inch nuts.

    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these nuts have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They resist rust in wet and outdoor environments, but won't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these nuts won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.

    Brass
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Hex Nuts. Thin-Profile Hex Nuts.
    Brass—Conductive and nonmagnetic, brass nuts are commonly used to secure electrical equipment, such as circuit board assemblies and mounting brackets, inside enclosures. They're also softer than most metals, so they won't damage other fastening components.
    Nickel-Plated Brass—The nickel plating offers better corrosion resistance than plain brass to stand up to solvents, salt water, and chemicals. The plating can wear off over time, so these nuts are not recommended for applications that experience a lot of friction or wear.

    Thin-Profile Nylon-Insert Locknuts

    About half the height of standard-profile locknuts, these fit in spaces with low clearance. You can also use them as jam nuts by threading them against a hex nut to hold it in place. The nylon insert grips the screw to prevent loosening from moderate vibration without damaging threads. However, the insert may become brittle if exposed to high temperatures. These locknuts are reusable a handful of times, but the holding power decreases with each use.
    Low-Strength Steel
    Rated Grade 2, Class 6, or lower, these locknuts are about half as strong as medium-strength steel nuts. Use them with screws that have a similar strength rating to avoid stripping threads during installation.

    Bearing Nuts

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Bearing Nuts. Bearing Nuts, Carbon Steel, Stepped Face.

    Carbon Steel

    Stepped Face

    Often paired with spring lock washers to strengthen their hold, these bearing nuts—also known as shaft nuts—keep vibration from shifting bearings, bushings, pulleys, and gears on your threaded shaft or spindle. They have slotted sides, so you can tighten and loosen them with a spanner wrench or spanner socket.
    Carbon Steel—Carbon steel bearing nuts are strong and resist wear.
    Stepped Face—Use stepped-face bearing nuts with DIN 462 spring lock washers. You can also use them in pairs or with other bearing nuts. For the nut closer to the bearing, position the stepped face towards the bearing. All meet DIN standards for bearing lockout dimensions.
    Thread Spacing—When choosing your thread spacing, consider the precision of your application. The finer the threads, the more control you have when making adjustments.

    Used in pairs or with another bearing nut, these thin-profile 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 thin-profile nuts have holes on the side, so you can tighten and loosen them with a pin spanner wrench. All meet DIN 1816, an international standard for bearing locknut dimensions.
