Size: M18*1.5, 29.7*23.2
Grade: 10
Material: 10b21
Finish: Blue and white zinc plating, Heat treatment
Key Features:
- Flange for Load Distribution: The integrated flange serves as a built-in washer, helping distribute the load more evenly along the central axis. This can reduce stress on the material and prevent the nut from moving or loosening under load.
- Hexagonal Shape for Easy Installation: The six-sided design is compatible with standard wrenches or sockets, allowing for precise tightening.
- Locking Variants Available: Some hex flange nuts for central axis applications come with locking features, like serrations or prevailing torque designs, to prevent them from loosening under vibration.
Ideal Applications:
- Automotive Drivetrains: Commonly used on wheel hubs, axles, and engine crankshafts, where a secure, vibration-resistant fastening is essential for safety and performance.
- Machinery and Rotating Equipment: Used in rotating machinery, such as gear assemblies and drive shafts, where components must remain aligned and stable under rotation.
- Heavy Equipment and Industrial Machinery: Applied to heavy machinery parts that experience continuous loading, such as construction or agricultural equipment, to prevent loosening under stress.
- Bicycles and Motorcycles: Utilized on wheel and crankshafts where central alignment and secure fastening are important to avoid wobbling or imbalance.
Advantages:
- Prevents Loosening: The flange distributes load and prevents movement along the central axis, ensuring that the nut remains securely fastened.
- Enhanced Stability: Especially when combined with locking features, flange nuts provide stability for rotating components, reducing the risk of misalignment or wobbling.
- Simplified Installation: The built-in flange eliminates the need for a separate washer, reducing part count and streamlining installation.
