A flange nut is a type of nut that incorporates a wide, flat flange at one end. This flange serves multiple purposes, including distributing pressure and preventing loosening due to vibrations. Flange nuts are commonly used in applications where a secure and stable fastening solution is required.
Flange nuts are used in various applications, particularly where the joint requires stability, resistance to loosening, and even pressure distribution. Common applications include automotive, aerospace, machinery, construction, and industrial equipment.
Serrated Flange Nut: This type of flange nut has serrations on the bottom of the flange to
provide additional grip and resistance against loosening due to vibration.
Non-Serrated Flange Nut: Non-serrated flange nuts have a smooth flange
without serrations.
Weld Nut with Flange: A flange nut can also be a weld nut, where the flange is
designed to be welded directly to the material, providing a permanent fastening solution.
