Nut-lamb, stainless steel A2, A4

Stainless steel lamb nut

The stainless steel wing nut, or wing nut, is a part in the form of a truncated cone equipped with two high flat protrusions, or wings. They allow you to tighten the threaded connection manually, without using any tool. The shape of a truncated cone with a relatively wide base provides better contact with the mating surface and reduces the specific load, which avoids deformation. The connection obtained with the help of a wing nut does not have such strength and reliability as that mounted with a tool. Therefore, this type of fastener is used in nodes that do not experience significant loads and require frequent disassembly for maintenance. The steel lamb nut is used in the installation of various kinds of hatches, covers, windows, technical doors, frequently disassembled devices, movable joints (for example, tripods) and other devices. A spring washer (grover) can be used to prevent self-unscrewing during assembly.
