  1. NUT AND THEIR TYPES

  2. What isa nut? • A nut is a fastener with a threaded hole. • Nuts are habitually used with a bolt, mating together to hold two objects together. • A bolt or screw with an undercut is inserted through a hole and are secured with a nut, promoting sturdiness. • Lock nuts prevent the loosening of bolts.

  3. Acorn Nut • These nuts are a combination of Hex nut and Cap nut. • Coming under the cap - nut fastener category, they have a domed crown covering the bolt. • The cap gives the protruding bolt a finished look, avoiding its contact with any other surface.

  4. There are two types of acorn nuts, standard acorn nuts that have a round cap and high acorn nut, which has a slightly raised crown to cover extra-long studs. • Manufactured in Steel, Brass, Nylon, Stainless Steel, they also come with Nickel plating along with a mirror finish.

  5. T - nut: • Also known as Tee or blind nut, these fasten wooden work pieces and other composite items. • It has a long body, with a head at one end resembling a T-shape. • When driven into wood, T – nuts create a threaded hole. • When used with flanges, they offer good retention and polished surface.

  6. Square nut: • It is a four – sided nut with larger contact surface with greater resistance to loosing. • They are often used with flat washers to prevent damage to the surrounding item. • They provide quick gauge as the nut and the head bolt sit parallel to the railway tracks.

  7. Coupling nut: • A coupling nut is a threaded fastener. • Commonly known as an extension nut, it has threads on the inside, to accept male threads in the form of a threaded rod or pipe. • They are produced in metal, PVC, Carbon, Steel, Brass, Aluminium, etc. • These nuts can come in many shapes, tightening a rod assembly inwards or outwards.

  8. Flange nut: • It has a side that is flat-shaped; helping it to function as a washer too. • The nut dispenses its retaining power evenly over the object surface, permitting quick fastening. • They are used to fasten wood and plastic. • They are often serrated i.e. saw – edged, biting into any material easily.
