Wing Nuts  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

"Wing nuts" are a type of fastener that can be easily tightened and loosened by hand without the need for tools. They are characterized by their distinctive wing-like extensions on either side, which provide a surface for fingers to grip. Typically made of metal, wing nuts are commonly used in applications where frequent adjustments are necessary, such as assembling and disassembling equipment or securing items that may require frequent access. They are often found in settings like woodworking, machinery, and hobby projects.

Wing nuts are fasteners that feature two "wings" on either side, allowing for easy hand tightening and loosening without the need for tools. Here are some technical specifications and details regarding wing nuts:
### Material:
- Typically made from materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, or plastic, depending on application needs.
### Sizes:
- Available in various sizes, commonly specified by diameter and thread pitch (e.g., M4, M5, M6 for metric sizes).
### Thread Type:
- Can have standard (coarse) threads or fine threads, depending on the application requirements.
### Design:
- The wings or lobes are designed for easy gripping, enabling users to securely fasten or release components by hand.
### Application:
- Commonly used in woodworking, machinery, and automotive applications where frequent adjustments are necessary.
- Ideal for applications requiring quick assembly or disassembly.
### Torque Specifications:
- Specific torque ratings may vary based on material and size; typically, they allow for sufficient tightness without stripping the threads.
### Finishes:
- Can come in various finishes such as plain, zinc plated, black oxide, or anodized for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Wing nuts are versatile fasteners commonly used in various applications due to their ease of use. Here are some of their primary uses:
1. **Easy Assembly and Disassembly**: Wing nuts allow for quick tightening and loosening without the need for tools. This makes them ideal for situations where components need to be frequently assembled and disassembled.
2. **Adjustable Fixtures**: They are often used in adjustable fixtures or mounting setups where the position of components may need to be changed frequently.
3. **Outdoor Equipment**: Wing nuts are commonly used in outdoor equipment like tents or camping gear, allowing for quick setup and takedown.
4. **Machinery and Electrical Products**: They are also utilized in machinery and electrical products where easy access to components is necessary for maintenance.
5. **Furniture Assembly**: Wing nuts can be found in furniture assembly, especially in items that are designed to be portable or flat-packed.
6. **DIY Projects**: They are popular in DIY projects for their convenience and reliability in securing parts together.
Overall, wing nuts are favored in applications where manual operation and quick adjustments are essential.

The wing nuts are operating elements with plastic head made of impact-resistant polyamide with a firmly sheathed/injection-molded screw made of galvanized metal or also other materials such as stainless steel, brass or plastic.

Head diameter 25 - 65mm
Head made of polyamide PA6, standard color black (other colors on request)
Standard thread steel galvanized (other materials on request), size M4 - M8

Wing nuts, like many other operating elements, are used wherever you want to fasten, adjust or screw something by hand using a screw or nut without the use of a tool.
Examples: Music stands, tripods, machine housings, other metal fixtures.

 Our portfolio is already vast with its more than 50,000 standard fasteners- good to know that our online catalogue and our employees‘ know-how keep the overview. But since norms cannot meet all requirements, our programme of products goes beyond DIN data sheets and factory recommendations: special productions according to drawings- from the special type of screws to the plate bending part- complete our offer. We have our own innovations in our programme of products as well. One of our specialties are magnetic plug systems.
They collect the abrasion in gearbox cases or serve as a specially constructed fuel level plunger in wind power stations. In addition we have been involved in further developments of suspension arrangements in the field of mining and tunnel construction. Besides we offer extended screws for which there was a special annex to the DIN norms for the open line construction. A cleverly devised and software-supported stock-keeping and assignment sale make sure that our products are also delivered to you as soon as possible and in a perfectly compiled manner.
