About FLANGE WHEEL NUT M14
A flange nut is a type of nut that has a wide flange at one end, which acts as an integrated washer. This flange helps to distribute the load of the nut over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of damage to the surface being fastened and preventing loosening due to vibrations. Flange nuts are commonly used in automotive, machinery, and structural applications.
Key Features:
- Flanged Base: The wide base eliminates the need for a separate washer.
- Material: Typically made from materials like steel, stainless steel, brass, or other metals, sometimes coated for corrosion resistance.
- Thread Type: Available in coarse or fine threading.
- Shape Variants:
- Serrated Flange Nuts: The flange has serrations that grip the surface, providing resistance to loosening (not suitable for surfaces that need to remain unmarred).
- Smooth Flange Nuts: The flange is smooth and non-serrated, suitable for delicate surfaces.
Common Applications:
- Automotive assembly (e.g., securing wheels, engines, and frames).
- Machinery where load distribution and vibration resistance are important.
- Construction and metal fabrication.
Flange nuts are selected for their reliability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand dynamic forces.
