What is the difference between a castle nut and slotted nut?

The difference between a slotted nut and a castle nut is the latter has turret geometry on the top of the nut. The nut thicknesses are the same as a slotted nut. Like slotted nuts, castle nut applications are similar using steel pins and taper or split pins, to lock the nut into position after tightening.

How are castle nuts measured?

Castle nut size refers to its nominal thread diameter. Typically, sizes range from about 1/4″ to 1 1/2″. Size is specified in inches, usually fractional rather than decimal. Nut width and height vary with the size of the castle nut.

What is a slotted nut used for?

Slotted nuts are used in applications where vibration or motion might undo the locknut. Both a castle nut and slotted nut look similar, and can often be used interchangeably because they have almost identical dimensions.

How do you read a hex nut size?

Hex nut size refers to its nominal thread diameter. Typically, sizes range from 1/4″ to about 2 1/2″. Size is specified in inches, usually fractional rather than decimal.

Are castle nuts reverse threaded?

Registered. That’s a castle nut and same as the right side. Both are definitely right hand thread.

What fasteners are used to lock castle nuts?

Both castellated and slotted nuts are designed to use a pin (usually a cotter pin) that fits through the slots and through a hole in the screw to which the nut is attached. This pin prevents the nut from turning and loosening.

What size is an M8 nut?

How do I know what size nut I need?

Bolts are measured in length of shank, bolt head size, width of shank (the diameter of the threaded bolt body) and the thread pitch (the size of the thread). Nuts are measured by the width of the hex shape and by their thread pitch. Bolts and nuts come in many different measurements and cannot be interchanged.

Which locking device is used in the slotted nut?

The flat sides of slotted nuts extend fully from the top to the bottom of the nut. Both castellated and slotted nuts are designed to use a pin (usually a cotter pin) that fits through the slots and through a hole in the screw to which the nut is attached. This pin prevents the nut from turning and loosening.
