The SMART NUT achieves a strong locking effect and stable axial load capacity by attaching a friction ring (Point 2) to the top side of the nut and using a SURFACE HOLLOW structure (Point 1) that provides access to the screw holes on the lower side. The SMART NUT can be used for a wide variety of situations and the double-locking effect offers customers safety and peace of mind.
With a counter-sinking design on the bearing surface, the SMART NUT can be used in a wide range of environments as it enhances the gripping force of the axial load on the bolt, and integrates superior stability and the effects of preventing detachment with the use of a friction ring.
