Fastening nuts are essential components in various assemblies, used to secure bolts, screws, and threaded rods in place. They provide a reliable means of clamping parts together, ensuring strength, stability, and safety in structures ranging from household furniture to heavy machinery. By applying the proper torque, nuts create a firm connection that resists loosening due to vibration, pressure, or load. With various types available—such as hex nuts, lock nuts, and wing nuts—these simple yet critical hardware pieces are designed to meet the demands of different applications and industries, especially construction and manufacturing.
American Bolt Corp. supplies different types of high-quality industrial nuts for various needs. Contact us for more information about our selection of fastening nuts or request a quote for more detailed requirements.
Industrial Nuts Available
American Bolt Corp. provides many types of nuts for any need. Our industrial nuts are made with many different materials and available in various sizes for the right fit. View our different types of industrial fastening nuts below.
Hex Nuts
Hex nuts are the general-purpose fastener that screws onto externally threaded fasteners for many applications, allowing for easy installation.
Heavy Hex Nuts
Heavy hex nuts are thicker and wider across the flats compared to general hex nuts. The heavy hex nuts are designed with high strength for tougher applications.
Structural Nuts
Structural nuts are heavy hex nuts that are also thicker and wider across the flats than normal hex nuts. These heavy nuts are assembled with structural bolts and designed for top structural applications.
Flange Nuts
Flange nuts feature a washer-style flange base that distributes load over a larger surface area to enhance joint integrity and reduce part deformation during high-torque assembly. These nuts are made to meet the demanding requirements of modern manufacturing environments.
Nylon Insert Lock Nut
Nylon insert lock nuts feature a built-in nylon ring that grips mating bolt threads and resists loosening. These nylon nuts offer dependable solutions for high-vibration and demanding environments.
Keps Nuts
Keps nuts, also known as K-lock nuts, are hex nuts with pre-attached external tooth lock washers to assist with simplifying assembly and holding power. These nuts deliver vibration-resistant fastenings in many projects.
Metal Lock Nuts
Metal lock nuts, also known as self-locking nuts, are designed to resist loosening caused by vibration or other forces by creating a tight friction fit against the bolt’s threads. Compared to nylon insert lock nuts, these do not rely on plastic and are suitable for high-temperature environments.
Acorn Nuts
Acorn nuts, also known as cas nuts, contain an acorn or cap that covers the external threads of the fastener for a finished look. These nuts are generally used for decorative purposes.
Coupling Nuts
Coupling nuts are internally threaded fasteners used to join together two externally threaded rods. Coupling nuts can be used to join different diameters together.
Slotted Nuts
Slotted nuts are hex nuts with designed slots, specially used with a cotter pin to create the locking action on a mating fastener.
Jam Nuts
Jam nuts are low-profile nuts that are typically half the height of a standard hex nut. These nuts are mainly used in combination with another nut to prevent rotation.
Square Nuts
Square nuts contain four sides instead of the typical hexagonal 6-sided shape. These nuts typically have a larger surface area for the mating material and will not round off from repeated use.
Tee Nuts
Tee nuts have an internally threaded barrel and protruding prongs, which provide an internally threaded surface for fasteners when installed into wood or plastic materials.
Weld Nuts
Weld nuts feature a threaded hold with a base and are specifically designed to be welded to another component.
Wing Nuts
Wing nuts have 2 wings that allow assembly to be used by hand instead of requiring a tool. These are commonly used for applications that require repeated tightening and loosening.
