Spring Nut

Mark:  304 AND 316
Size: M6,M8,M10 & M12′

A spring nut is considered as a special fastener that is in essence a nut with a spring-like device to achieve secure vibration-resistant fastening and heavy-duty mechanical fastening. Spring nuts are mostly used on threaded rods, bolts, and metal channel fasteners; they either possess prongs or springs to grip the surface of the material or slot and inhibit movement. They are found extensively in construction, automotive uses, electrical installations, and industrial equipment assembly throughout the UAE and GCC markets.

Applications of Spring Nuts

  1. Electrical Installations:
    To secure cable trays, conduits, and lighting fixtures and assemble electrical panels.
    Fastening of components in industrial electrical enclosures and power distribution systems.
  2. Automotive Industry:
    To attach components to metal frames, panels, and vehicle chassis.
    To fast assembly in areas of high vibration, such as engine compartments, suspension systems, and automotive assembly lines.
  3. Construction:
    For securing pipelines, ducts, and brackets in strut channels, metal framing systems, and pipe supports.
    Commonly functional in the MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) workings of building infrastructure and commercial construction projects.
  4. Industrial Machinery:
    Fastening of components in machinery that operate under movement, vibration, or heavy loads.
    Perfect for factory equipment, processing assembly, and maintenance in heavy equipment.
  5. HVAC Systems:
    Securely mounting ducts, vents, and other HVAC components properly for airflow, durability, and safety compliance.

Uses of Spring Nuts

  1. Slot Fastening: Made to be inserted into strut channels, C-channel framing, or pre-drilled slots.

  2. Resistance to Vibrations: Spring is used so nut does not slide off during motion or vibration, making its function perfect for dynamic applications.

  3. Fast Installation: It can be simply installed with no or few tools permitting fast and easy on-site or factory assembly.

  4. Re-installable Fastening: Have no difficulty with repositioning or readjustment on strut systems, metal frameworks, and modular supporting structures.


Advantages of the Spring Nuts

  1. Increasing Grip: Spring tension imparts that extra holding power to keep the nut from sliding out or loosening under stress.

  2. Time-Saving: This includes installation or adjustment without any requirements for supporting components, such as washers and locking mechanisms.

  3. Vibration-Proof: Dynamic applications that fulfill the heavy-duty environment and mechanical situations subject to vibrations and movements.

  4. Versatile: They might be suitable for many materials, channel sizes, and slot types and industries, i.e., construction, automotive, and electrical.

  5. Good Materials: Available in corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, galvanized, and zinc-plated finishes, for durability against the rigors of any environment and outdoor use.

  6. Cost-Saving: They help minimize the number of additional locks, washers, or maintenance, thus saving labor and material costs for contractors and industrial clients in the UAE.
