What are flange nuts?
Flange nuts are a type of fastener that have a wide, circular base or flange at the end. This flange serves as an integral washer that distributes the load over a larger area, reducing the risk of damage to the mounting object. Flanged nuts are often used in applications where vibration can occur, as the flange helps to secure the nut against loosening. They are particularly useful for assemblies that require a clean and flat surface. Flange nuts are typically made from steel, stainless steel or other high-strength materials to ensure high strength and corrosion resistance.
Where flange nuts are used
Flange nuts, recognizable by their integrated flange at the lower end, which acts as a kind of washer, are particularly advantageous where a larger contact surface is required for load distribution. This design increases the holding force and reduces the risk of damage to the mounting material. Flange nuts are often used where vibration and rotation could cause conventional nuts to loosen. Typical applications include:
Automotive industry
Flange nuts are often used in the assembly of vehicle chassis as they ensure an even distribution of pressure on critical parts and thus ensure the integrity of the connection under vibration.
Renewable energies
In wind turbines, for example, where secure and durable fastening of components is essential in the face of strong wind loads.
Aerospace
They are used in aerospace technology to securely fasten components that are exposed to high dynamic loads
in the long term.
Consumer electronics
In the production of consumer electronics, where compact and reliable fasteners are required.
Mechanical engineering
They are used in machines and systems where a reliable connection is required to prevent malfunctions and simplify maintenance.
And many other industrial applications
Flange nuts are an excellent choice wherever robust, vibration-resistant and simple assembly is required. Their design enables efficient and durable fastening in a wide range of applications.

Flange nuts offer these advantages
Flange nuts are specialized fasteners that offer specific advantages for various assembly and design requirements. Here are the main advantages that characterize flange nuts in their applications:
Extended contact surface
Flange nuts have an integrated flange on the base area that acts as a kind of washer. This larger bearing surface ensures a better distribution of the load over the fastened material, which reduces the risk of indentation or damage to the surface.
Improved safety against loosening
The flange increases the friction between the nut and the fastening surface, which reduces the risk of self-loosening due to vibrations. This is particularly important in dynamic applications such as in the automotive or mechanical engineering industries.
Easier installation and maintenance
The flange nut can be installed more quickly and with fewer components (e.g. without additional washers), which saves time and increases efficiency during assembly work. This also simplifies maintenance and repair processes.
Higher torque transmission
Due to the larger contact surface of the flange, flange nuts have a lower surface pressure at the same torques without pressing into the material. This enables a tighter and more secure fastening, especially with softer materials.
Versatile applications
Flange nuts are useful in a wide range of industries and applications, from automotive to mechanical engineering to construction applications where a robust and reliable fastening solution is required.
Aesthetic design
In some applications, the wider flange can also provide aesthetic benefits by creating a cleaner and more uniform appearance of the fixing point.
