Wing Nuts

Wing nuts made of stainless steel also belong to the group of nuts although they do not really look like this. Because a wing nut is basically constructed in such a way that there is a nut similar to the basic body, which is round and can have a slightly rounded shape. On this basic body there are the two wings, where the wing nut made of stainless steel gets its name from. These two wings stand out to the side - sometimes more, sometimes less. Depending on whether you have the American form or the German form. That has its sense. Exactly at these two wings it is and possible to loosen and tighten the wing nut without tools. This is only possible because the wing nut has exactly these two protruding wings. The thread is located in the body of the wing nut, which can then be screwed onto screws or bolts or threaded rods made of stainless steel. This way, components that were originally separated can be quickly and securely connected without tools. If you would like more information about wing nuts, please read our blog post. Of course, these fasteners are also used almost exclusively in industry, as they can be used to quickly open and close covers on machine housings and devices in production without tools. This means that the operators do not need any tools, as is the case with normal hexagon nuts. However, these elements are also being used more and more frequently in private areas. Especially in model making and in many other handicraft activities, these nuts inspire many new fields of application.

Production machines are always required to manufacture wing nuts from metal. Since it is not so easy to produce these fastening elements, very special machines are used. We would like to go into this production process in more detail in this article. At the beginning of a wing nut made of V2A or V4A and its production there is always a square flat bar, which has to be made red-hot to be able to form it well. It is clamped in a special device and can be bent downwards in the middle by means of a ram. Just like the later shape of the wing nut. There is still enough space left in the middle to insert the hole. This is done on another jig, which is aligned obliquely under a drill press. The wing nut can be tightened and the middle piece is exactly 90 degrees to the drill. Once the hole is set, the thread can be cut in the same breath. If this process is also completed, the nut is soon finished and only needs to be cleaned. Then everything can be stored and with your order the finished stainless steel wing nut will be sent to you.
