Curved-the
bend in the nut adds a spring element for increased
resistance to loosening. It also provides easy
handling during the
installation process. The degree of the bend
depends on the loadbearing
requirements of the joint. Shakeproof can help
to design the
perfect solution.
Bends
- Flat Base
Flat-this design is best suited for low-pressure
joints. It provides a
quick installation and can be designed with
any of the described
impressions. It is also the easiest to modify
the ends or add barbs
for increased grip.
Shape
- Rectangle
Rectangular-this design serves as a load distributor
which can span
over-sized holes as well as release pressure
on the actual fastener
hole. Different lengths and widths are available
and any impression
can be built in for maximum performance.
Shape
- Round
Round-this shape is great for anti-rotation
scenarios and can be
modified to fit into unique joints. A spanner
wrench can be used to
install the round design and the nut can serve
as a solution for oversized
holes when a change in fastener size is not
desired.
Impressions
- Twin Prong
Twin Prong-for use on either a threaded or
unthreaded part. This
design is easy to install and very user-friendly
across many platforms.
It makes a great impression for fastening many
different
joints.
Impressions
- Diamond
Diamond-this is the easiest design to install
and required the least
amount of pressure. It is only used for fastening
unthreaded parts.
Impressions
- Spira Cone
Spira Cone-the 360 degree engagement creates
an extremely strong
hold for fasteners with a machine pitch. It
is completely re-usable for
service and installation purposes.
Impressions
- D-Shaped Stud Retainers
Impressions
- Hardened Stud Rtainers
Hardened Stud Retainer-extra gripping power
helps to secure hardened
fasteners where normal impressions might fail.
This is very
important in harsh environments.
Ends
- Turned Up
Turned Up-this helps to protect the surface as
well as make handling
the fasteners much easier during installation.
Ends
- Turned Down
Turned Down-the corners ‘bite’ into
the surface of the joint to reduce
movement, resist vibration, and secure the nut
against the fastener.
Ends
- Notched
Notched-the ends can have notches to fit around
plastic bosses,
other fasteners, and obstacles. These help in
anti-rotation and creating
a more secure joint.

Wide
Range Nuts and Panel Nuts
U-Nuts are
dual sided components that can span a wide
range of material thicknesses. They serve
several purposes and can be designed for
custom use with almost any application. Features
of the U-Nuts include:
Equal clamp on both sides of material
Can use any impression
Provides bearing surface for protection
Can span over-sized holes
Dual lead-lips for easy installation
Can have barbs for back-off resistance
Best grip on a variety of panel surfaces
Impression on bottom side for hole
guidance
Relief back allows for less required
installation force
J-Nuts are
very similar to U-Nuts in design, but are
shorter on the bottom side. This has many
aesthetic and installation values including:
Reduces visibility for the assembly
joint
Faster to install
Less material used in production
Impression on bottom side for hole
guidance
Relief back allows for less required
installation force
