U-Type & J-Type Retaining Nuts
u-type---j-type-retaining-nuts
They accept power driven screws readily, discourage cross-threading, won't clog with paint or freeze to screw threads. They are self-retaining over a wide range of panel thicknesses, yet permit trouble-free removal. Unusually high clamp loads are attainable. Prevailing torque is inherent in the design. /Asset/01664-a_1_6.jpg
Multi-Threaded Self-Retaining Imperial U-Nuts
(17) Multi-Threaded Self-Retaining U-Nuts, also known as Tapped Barrel U-Nuts, are primarily used in the automotive industry where extra strength is required. The strength of the tapped barrel u-nut is equal to the machine screw used. It allows single-wrench tightening of the thread assembly. In addition, some multi-threaded u-nuts are available in Free Spin or Prevailing Torque designs. This page displays Imperial Thread X Pitch Sizes from 1/4 x 20 - 10 x 32. /Asset/01664_a_unut_tappedbarrel_1.jpg
Single Thread High-Torque U-Nuts
(11) Single Thread High-Torque U-Nuts are equally at home on metal or plastic. These unique fasteners bring extra strength, reliability and economy wherever vibration, impact, or migration prevail.They accept power driven screws readily, discourage cross-threading, won't clog with paint or freeze to screw threads. They are self-retaining over a wide range of panel thicknesses, yet permit trouble-free removal. Unusually high clamp loads are attainable. Prevailing torque is inherent in the design. /Asset/01664-a_1_6.jpg
Winged U-Nuts with 5-Prong Design
This unique Winged U-Nut, tooling owned by EFC, has a patented "five prong" design that creates a prevailing torque feature. Winged U-Nuts ensure installment in the proper orientation, thereby preventing the possibility of improper installation. /Asset/01500810d-450.jpg Single-Threaded Winged U-Nuts
Winged U-Nuts ensure application installation in the proper orientation, thereby preventing the possibility of improper installation which could cause quality issues, waste/scrap, delays, and warranty/liability concerns. /Asset/16200_a.jpg U-Nut Retainers
(17) The U-Nut Retainer combines a spring steel retainer with a multi-threaded nut to provide an ideal fastener for heavy duty applications requiring high torque tightening, low fastener profile, "float" for hole misalignment and blind assembly. Available in U and J Types, these retainers are used for larger size screws in a variety of applications. /Asset/1595.jpg
Collated Multi-threaded Self-Retaining Nuts for Automation
(5)A Lightweight, Self-Retaining Nut Solution That Allows for Automated Installation
Achieve as much as a 400% increase in productivity by automating your installation of multi-threaded u-nuts with these Collated U-Nuts. They are stacked, snapping into one another, and are installed using an ergonomically designed pneumatic hand or bench mount tool. During assembly, these high-performance U-nuts are placed over the edge of a stamped panel, or through a pre-stamped slot, and are simply pushed until the rear of the fastener locates against the panel edge or snaps into the clearance hole. They can be used on either plastic or steel panels. Collated U-Nuts are available in M6 and M10 thread sizes and in the most common finishes.
