  • Spring Clip Nuts

    Spring Clip Nuts Cage Nuts

    Another name of Spring Clip Nuts is Cage Nuts or cabinet nuts, are sheet metal fasteners composed of an elastic outer shell and a square nut. The slotted structure of the shell positions the nut within the pre-drilled hole in the sheet metal, while the square nut provides internal threads for assembly. The gap between the outer shell and the square nut allows for compensation of any misalignment in the installation hole.For quotes,inquiries,or non-standard fasteners request, please feel free to click the button”get a free quote”.

  • Stainless Steel Spring Nuts

    Stainless Steel Spring Nuts

    Spring nuts are a type of nut that has the ability to deform elastically, consisting of a nut body and a spring. Their structure is more complex than that of ordinary nuts, as the nut body features a slot for the spring, which is fitted over the nut. The threaded part of the spring nut is the same as that of a regular nut, but it also includes an elastic spring washer that provides elastic pressure when the nut is tightened, helping to prevent fasteners from loosening due to machine vibrations.For quotes,inquiries,or non-standard fasteners request, please feel free to click the button”get a free quote”

    Spring Nuts for Solar Panel Mounting

    Spring Nuts for Solar Panel Mounting are small, metal fasteners designed to secure solar panels to mounting rails. They have a built-in spring that helps hold them in place within the rail’s grooves, making installation easier. These nuts are commonly used in solar panel systems to ensure a firm connection between the panels and the mounting structure, providing stability even in changing weather conditions. Their design allows for quick, tool-free adjustments during installation.For quotes,inquiries,or non-standard fasteners request, please feel free to click the button”get a free quote”.

About Spring Nuts

What is spring nuts?

A spring nut is a type of nut capable of elastic deformation, consisting of a nut body and a spring. Its structure is more complex than that of a regular nut. The nut body has a groove for installing the spring, which is fitted around the nut. The threaded part of the spring nut is the same as a regular nut, but it also includes an elastic spring washer that provides elastic pressure when the nut is tightened. This helps prevent the fastener from loosening due to machine vibrations.

What is the difference between spring nuts and regular nuts?

  • Structural Differences

Spring nuts are more complex in structure compared to regular nuts. A spring groove is set into the nut body, with a spring fitted around it to provide an elastic cushioning effect. In contrast, regular nuts have a simpler structure, usually in the form of a hexagonal or six-sided shape.

  • Performance Differences

Spring nuts offer an elastic cushioning effect, which helps prevent loosening of the threads caused by vibration and impact loads. Regular nuts, however, do not provide such cushioning. Therefore, spring nuts are a better choice for fastening applications requiring anti-loosening, cushioning, and shock absorption.

  • Different Application Scenarios

Due to their performance differences, spring nuts and regular nuts are used in different situations. Spring nuts are typically suited for environments with heavy vibration and impact loads, such as in solar panels mounting, automobiles, aircraft, high-speed trains, and large ships. Regular nuts, on the other hand, are more suitable for applications requiring strict connections with less exposure to vibration and impact loads.

 

Materials of Spring Nuts

The materials for spring nuts mainly include galvanized carbon steel, stainless steel 304, and stainless steel 316. These materials differ in performance and application scenarios to meet various needs.Fastenmetal mainly manufacture stainless steel spring nuts range from M8-M48.
