What Are T-Nuts?
Speaking of T-nut, we should not be strange, and the application of T-nut in life is not rare. However, there are often some operating problems during T nuts processing. As a professional fastener manufacturer, Xinchi Fastener Company takes you to understand the T-nut, as well as the common problems and solutions in the processing of T-nuts.
What Are T-Nuts?
A nut is a part that is screwed together with a bolt or a screw for fastening. According to the different uses in the production and manufacturing machinery, the same component can be divided into several categories including carbon steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, and so on according to the different materials. A T-nut is a nut that looks like the letter T. T-nut is not only easy to install and unload, but also easy to install parts in any position, which can greatly improve labor productivity. This is why T-nuts can be widely used in the T-slots of various milling machines.
The processing materials of T-nut
The screw is also called T-bolt. In Europe, T-nuts are also known as hammer bolts and are made of stainless steel and medium carbon steel. Medium carbon steel T screws can be plated with zinc or nickel. Carbon steel T-bolts are made of 1045 medium carbon steel.
The machining process of T-nut
The screws were produced by the red satin process, and after heat treatment, the grade was 8.8. The general practice is to die platen bolts. T-screws can usually be placed directly into the slot and automatically positioned and locked during installation. Generally, T – bolts are used with flange nuts. T-nuts are the standard connection fasteners for corner fittings. Attention should be paid to the selection of T-bolts according to the slot width of profiles.
Nut material technical requirements: nuts are usually made of easily cut steel. The maximum content of sulfur in nuts is 0.30%; The maximum content of phosphorus is 0.11%; The maximum lead content is 0.35%.
Sometimes in order to improve the mechanical properties of the nut, alloying elements can be added appropriately. Grade 10 and 12 nuts should be quenched and tempered.
Thread: When the thread is produced in large quantities, most threads are rolled. Among them, Down’s thread is composed of two kinds of spiral lines, the left, and right, which are compounded on the same thread section. This can be done with both left – and right-handed threads.
Bolt heads are usually made by rolling.
Machining tools are divided into rough-turning tools and fine-tuning tools. Sharpen the nut with the tip of the knife to make it as sharp as possible. Improve the speed of the machine, and pay attention to reducing the finish.
