Coarse Thread Stainless Steel 316 304 M8 X 1.25 Plain Finish Nuts
1.Product Description
A cage nuts also called a captive or clip nuts, which consists of a square nut in a spring steel cage which covered around the nut. The cage has two wings that when compressed allow the cage to be inserted into the square holes. When the wings are released, they hold the nut in position behind the hole.
The cage nut can be used wherever a square hole can be punched. An older alternative style of cap nut uses a spring clip that holds the nut and slides on the edge of a thin sheet. While this type of cage nut can only position the nut a fixed distance from the edge of a thin plate, it works equally well with square and round holes. A patent for such a nut was granted in 1946.
Using cage nuts offers several benefits over threaded holes. It has a range of choice of nut and bolts size in the field, long after the equipment has been manufactured. If a screw is over-tightened, the nut can be replaced, unlike a pre-threaded hole, where a hole with stripped threads becomes unusable. Then the cage nuts are easy to use on materials which is too thin or soft to be threaded.
The nut is usually slightly loose in the cage to allow for minor adjustments. This reduces that the threads will be during equipment installation and removal. The dimensions of the spring steel clip determines thickness of the panel to which the nut may be clipped. In the case of square-hole cage nuts, the clip dimensions determine the range of hole sizes to which the clip will securely hold the nut. In the case of slide-on cage nuts, the clip dimensions determine the distance from the panel edge to the hole.
Different types of cage nuts are available.

3.Application
It has a range of choice of nut and bolts size in the field, long after the equipment has been manufactured. If a screw is over-tightened, the nut can be replaced, unlike a pre-threaded hole, where a hole with stripped threads becomes unusable. General Fastening applications where need high strength and superior corrosion resistance. For the joining process required pressure is usually applied manually by the operator or by the machine. Square weld nut is designed for through-hole applications and are not self-positioning, so the need for additional installation or jigging dowel precise location.
4. Advantages
The cage nut can be used wherever a square hole can be punched. An older alternative style of cap nut uses a spring clip that holds the nut and slides on the edge of a thin sheet.
