Knurled Thumb Nuts - Cone / Plastic

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.

Knurled Thumb Nuts - Round/Plastic

Thumb Nuts, also known as Knurled Nuts, are a type of nut with a knurled outside diameter (surface). This design facilitates manual tightening by hand, and also secures the nut into a handle or cover.

Our knurled thumb nut offer features plastic thumb nuts made from Nylon 6/6; a strong, tough and durable material that is ideal for connecting elements and other technical components. It has self-lubricating properties, and is resistant to moisture, vapour and salt water. Operational temperatures can go up to 100 to 120C, temporarily for non-critical parts. Many nylons are self-extinguishing.

Our nylon thumb nut range also includes options made from Nylon with 30% glass fibre compound. This option is resistant to numerous fluids and chemicals, and is ideal for technical products requiring high dimensional stability and durability at higher operating temperatures. It has good strength and stiffness, in combination with good impact qualities. Excellent for heavy duty handles.

We also offer natural Polycarbonate (PC) plastic knurled thumb nuts. The strong PC material provides an aesthetically pleasing joining solution for applications in Retail and Point of Sale, for example.

Self -Drilling & Self-Piercing Screws - Pan Head

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.

Standoffs

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.
