Description

Threaded Clamping Nut with Compression Slot

Brief Overview

This compact cylindrical clamping nut is engineered for direct shaft mounting and precision component retention. The internal threading accommodates standard fastening, while the strategically positioned radial slot enables controlled compression when tightened—eliminating the need for additional locking mechanisms or supplementary hardware. Ideal for applications where space is limited and reliable, tool-free clamping is essential. For broader fastening solutions, consider pairing this with complementary standard threaded nuts to cover your complete assembly requirements.

Key Features

  • Compression Slot Design: Radial relief cut allows the nut to compress radially when tightened, ensuring positive grip without separate locking elements
  • Internal Threading: Full-depth threading for secure engagement on standard threaded shafts
  • Compact Profile: Short, stout construction minimizes axial space requirements in confined mounting scenarios
  • Black-Oxide Finish: Durable corrosion-resistant surface suitable for industrial and workshop environments
  • Chamfered Top Edge: Precision-finished edges facilitate clean installation and reduce potential for thread damage during assembly

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • High-Margin Item: Compact fasteners deliver strong profit margins with minimal inventory footprint
  • Cross-Sell Opportunity: Pairs naturally with shaft components, coupling assemblies, and precision mounting systems
  • Low Handling Cost: Lightweight and durable—minimal damage risk during storage and shipment
  • Versatile Application Base: Suits automotive assembly, machinery maintenance, and general industrial fastening—broad customer appeal
  • Quick Turnover: Essential component for shops specializing in precision assembly, reducing customer wait times and improving satisfaction

Why This Specification Matters

The compression slot is the critical design element here. Unlike traditional lock nuts that rely on friction inserts or jam-nut designs, this nut's radial slot allows the body itself to compress slightly under bolt tension, creating a physical grip on the shaft. This approach:

  • Eliminates dependency on separate fastening hardware
  • Reduces assembly time (no additional screws to install)
  • Ensures repeatable clamping force across production runs
  • Maintains grip even under vibration, without thread stripping

Perfect For

  • Precision assembly work requiring repeatable, vibration-resistant clamping
  • Space-constrained applications where traditional lock nuts are oversized
  • Machinery where component security cannot rely on friction alone
  • Shops seeking to streamline fastening procedures and reduce per-unit assembly costs

Stock this clamping nut for customers building precision-assembled equipment, automating assembly lines, or maintaining industrial machinery where secure, efficient shaft mounting is non-negotiable.
