Product description
Applications
DIN 979 hexagon slotted thin castle nuts are primarily used in scenarios where secure fastening is essential. They are designed to prevent loosening under conditions of vibration or shock. Common applications include automotive assemblies, machinery, and structural components, where the use of a cotter pin ensures a locked and stable connection.
Fields of Use
These nuts are widely utilized in:
Automotive industries for securing wheel bearings and other components.
Mechanical engineering to maintain stability in vibrating systems.
Aerospace applications due to their reliability in high-stress environments.
Characteristics
DIN 979 castle nuts feature a hexagonal shape with slots on one end, allowing the insertion of a cotter pin to lock the nut in place. They are made from durable materials like steel or stainless steel, ensuring resistance to wear and tear. Their design provides enhanced safety and reliability compared to standard nuts, making them suitable for low-torque applications where precision is critical.
