Polyamide Thumb Nuts

These knurled nuts have a conical design. They feature a knurled outer surface that ensures a secure grip, allowing them to be tightened and loosened quickly and easily without the use of tools. In addition, the textured pattern improves grip, eliminates slippage and ensures a solid hold.

The tapered design also provides greater pressure distribution, resulting in a more even and secure tightening. Its plastic material allows it to withstand repeated use exposed to various weather conditions and resist corrosion or rust. Common applications include electronics, automotive, industrial machinery and switchboards.
