Classification of hexagonal nuts

Hexagonal nuts are a common type of nut that we often encounter in our daily lives. Hexagonal nuts are often used in conjunction with bolts and screws in work, and nuts serve as fasteners and components in work.

1. Ordinary outer hexagon – widely used, characterized by high tightening force, but with sufficient operating space during installation.

2. Cylindrical head inner hexagon – is the most widely used among all screws, with a slightly lower tightening force than the outer hexagon. It can be operated using an inner hexagon wrench and is very convenient for installation. It is almost used in various structures, with a beautiful and tidy appearance. It should be noted that repeated use can easily damage the inner hexagon and make it impossible to disassemble.

3. Pan head inner hexagon – rarely used mechanically, mostly used in furniture, mainly to increase contact surface with wooden materials and enhance the aesthetic appearance.

4. Headless hexagonal socket – must be used on certain structures, such as top wire structures that require significant tightening force or places where cylindrical heads need to be hidden.

5. Nylon lock nut – a structure with nylon rubber rings embedded in the hexagonal surface to prevent thread loosening, used in powerful machinery.

6. Flange nut – mainly used to increase the contact surface with the workpiece, mostly used in pipelines, fasteners, and some stamped and cast parts.

7. Ordinary hex nuts – the most versatile and commonly used fasteners.
