View moreHexagon nuts, screws, and bolts are used in conjunction with each
other to connect and tighten mechanical components. Among them, Type 1
six purpose nuts are the most widely used, while C-grade nuts are used
on machines, equipment, or structures with relatively rough surfaces and
low precision requirements; A-grade and B-grade nuts are used on
machines, equipment, or structures with relatively smooth surfaces and
high precision requirements. The thickness M of type 2 hex nuts is
relatively thick and is often used in situations where assembly and
disassembly are frequently required. The thickness M of Hexagon thin
nuts is relatively thin and is often used in situations where the
surface space of the connected parts is limited.
Hexagon nuts are
classified into three types based on their nominal thickness: Type I,
Type II, and Thin. Nuts above level 8 are divided into two types: Type 1
and Type II. Type I hex nuts are the most widely used, and Type 1 nuts
are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. Grade A and B nuts are
suitable for machines, equipment, and structures with low surface
roughness and high precision requirements, while Grade C nuts are used
for machines, equipment, or structures with relatively rough surfaces
and low precision requirements; The thickness of type 2 hex nuts is
relatively thick and is often used in situations where assembly and
disassembly are required.
Type 1 nut refers to a regular Hexagon
nut with a nominal height m ≥ 0.8D, and its type and size should comply
with the provisions of GB/T6170; The height of type 2 nuts is higher
than that of type 1 nuts, and their type and size should comply with
GB/T6175. The purpose of adding type 2 nuts is twofold: firstly, to
obtain a cost-effective nut that does not require heat treatment by
increasing the height of the nut. Because grade 8 type 1 nuts with D ≤
M16 do not require heat treatment, only grade 2 nuts are used for sizes
D>M16-39 in grade 8 nuts. Obviously, type 1 nuts that do not require
heat treatment cannot meet the mechanical performance requirements of
grade 9 nuts. Another purpose of specifying Type 2 nuts is to obtain
Grade 12 nuts with better toughness. Due to the increased height of the
nut, the guaranteed stress index can be achieved at lower quenching and
tempering hardness, thus increasing the toughness of the nut. Classified
by tooth spacing: standard teeth, regular teeth, fine teeth, extremely
fine teeth, and reverse teeth. Classified by material: stainless steel
hex nut, carbon steel hex nut, copper hex nut, iron hex nut. Classified
by thickness: Hexagon thick nuts and Hexagon thin nuts. Classified
by usage: Hot melt copper nuts, hot pressed copper nuts, embedded copper
nuts, and ultrasonic copper nuts.
