What is a Hex Nut with Flange and what it does?

Apr 14,2022

Flanged nut, or hex nut with flange for short, is another member of the nut family, a form of nut. Hex nut with flange can also be called hex nut with disc, which refers to the hexagon nut plus a large disc.
Generally speaking, this large disc is toothed, so why should it be flanged? Why are there teeth on the flange? Simply put:
1. The flange is used to increase the bearing area of the nut and the receiving surface. We all know that in the case of constant pressure, the larger the force-bearing area, the smaller the pressure on the force-bearing surface, and the greater the stress on the longitudinal and transverse nuts, which not only prevents the flange nut from being caused by excessive pressure on the contact surface damage, and play the role of anti-loose and anti-skid.
2. The teeth on the flange surface of the flanged nut enhance the anti-loosening effect of the flanged nut, and play a certain anti-vibration effect, so that the connecting piece with the flanged nut will not loosen during movement and high vibration, increasing the safety and firmness.
