Self Tapping Hex Nuts

Hexagon steel nuts give a solid grip while preventing loosening due to vibration or motion. They are simple to tighten and relax with a normal wrench or pliers. Hexagon steel nuts give a solid grip while preventing loosening due to vibration or motion. They are simple to tighten and relax with a normal wrench or pliers. They are used with steel or stainless steel lead screws for low rotational speeds, manual control, clamping or locking actions, and dead weight reception.

Due to its material, it is used in applications that need high strength and durability but require lubrication to prevent the nut seizing with the screw.

These are widely utilised in a variety of industrial applications, including in automotive, aerospace, and medical equipment. Available as standard right-hand thread hexagon steel nuts as well as left-hand threaded.

Please note: Steel to steel contact surfaces are inappropriate for motorised motion.

Integral Seal Nuts are a type of fastener with an integrated sealing feature, combining the functionality of a nut and a sealing component into a single unit. These nuts provide reliable protection while simplifying the assembly process and eliminating the need for additional sealing components. They prevent the entry of water, dust, or other contaminants providing bi-directional sealing.

This range of Integral Seal hexagonal nuts incorporates an O-ring which is compressed and squeezed between the nut and mating component.

They are suitable for temperatures from -100C to +260C and are reusable. Integral Seal Nuts are used in applications such as cabinets or used in the automotive, machinery and electric industries.Please Note: Clearance holes are recommended for optimal sealing performance (see measurements below). Clearance hole depth is 2-3 times the thread pitch; threads are metric coarse pitch.

• It provides a reliable and watertight connection while simplifying the assembly process and eliminating the need for additional sealing components.

• It incorporates an O-ring which is compressed and squeezed between the nut and the mating surface.

• Suitable for temperatures from -100C to +260C and are reusable.

Material: 316 Stainless Steel, 303 Stainless Steel Series Code: SRP0178

Self-drilling and self-piercing screws are a type of fastener that combines drilling and fastening operations in a single action, removing the requirement for pre-drilling. They have a pointed head that allows the screw to self-tap into a panel. This reduces the amount of time and physical work necessary for fixing.

Easily driven into the surface with a power drill or screwdriver and provides a strong and secure hold. Ideal for use in applications where a high degree of strength and stability is required, such as in metalworking or construction.

Plastic Hex Nuts, or Hex Nuts, are made from a variety of plastics and come in a selection of thread sizes to suit your application needs. These popular plastic nuts can are securely screwed on to a bolt or other fastener fitting, thanks to the threaded core.The hexagonal shape means the nut can be easily tightened and loosened - making them a practical choice.

Our plastic hexagonal nuts come in a choice of materials, including Nylon 6/6 (or Polyamide), Polypropylene (PP) and Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF). Refer to standard NF E 2403, ISO 4032, DIN 555, DIN 934 for guidance purposes only. Included is a high-quality Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) option, which offers resistance to most chemicals and is UL94 V0 rated. The brown PEEK material is also has a continuous application temperature of 180C. The range also features a polycarbonate transparent nut, ideal for Point of Sale (POS) display construction.

• Colours: Black, Brown, Natural, Transparent, Grey.
  

Our Plastic Hex Nuts are regularly purchased with Retaining Washers.

Our range of Standoffs, which are commonly referred to as Hex Spacers or Standoff Pillars, are quick and easy to install thanks to their screw-in design. Our standoffs are available in both a non-undercut and undercut version. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability, but require a washer for installation. Whereas undercut spacers are much quicker to install, and allow spacers to be stacked and do not require the use of a washer - making them a econonical solution. Our spacer range is also available in self-tapping types for mating with non-threaded fittings.

Our standoff spacers offering includes undercut male to female standoff made from either, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated steel, aluminium or stainless steel, which are self-tapping. Female to female hex spacers made from brass, stainless steel, nickel-plated brass or zinc-plated steel. A self-tapping male to female hexagonal spacer made from nickel-plated hardened steel that's brass coloured. We also offer a round natural Nylon 6/6 push spacer.
