What Are Hex Flange Nuts?

Hex flange nuts, also known as hexagon flange nuts or flange nuts, are a type of fastener that combines the functionality of a hexagonal nut with an integral flange. The flange is a washer-like extension that is integral to the nut.

As a professional fastener supplier, Xinchi Fastener Co., LTD is glad to introduce several benefits of the flange of hex flange nuts.

Increased Bearing Surface: The flange spreads the load over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of damage to the material being fastened and preventing the nut from embedding itself into softer materials.

Resistance to Loosening: The flange acts as a built-in washer, which helps distribute the pressure evenly and provides resistance to loosening caused by vibration or torque.

Simplified Assembly: The integrated flange eliminates the need for a separate washer, making installation quicker and easier.

Hex flange nuts are commonly used in applications where vibration resistance and a wide bearing surface are required, such as automotive, machinery, and construction industries. They are available in various materials, including steel, stainless steel, and brass, and come in different thread sizes and pitches to suit different applications.
