Find out more about why rectangular nuts are so popular and what makes them so special.
What are rectangular nuts?
Rectangular nuts are special fastening elements with a rectangular shape that have a specific application in fastening technology. This shape offers a high resistance to twisting, which is particularly advantageous in narrow or flat assembly spaces. Rectangular nuts are often used in rail or sliding systems, where they can be inserted into a guide and fixed in place. The larger contact surface ensures better load distribution and increases the holding force. Rectangular nuts are usually made from materials such as steel, stainless steel or aluminum in order to withstand different mechanical loads and environmental conditions.
Where rectangular nuts are used
Rectangular nuts are characterized by their rectangular shape and are particularly suitable for applications where a large bearing surface is required for load distribution or where space restrictions prevent a nut from turning. Their shape provides excellent clamping force and prevents twisting during assembly. Typical applications include:
Rail transport
They are used in the assembly and maintenance of rail vehicles to ensure a reliable and robust connection.
Furniture industry
In the manufacture of furniture, rectangular nuts ensure a secure and stable connection of parts, especially for flat packages or modular systems.
Building industry
In the construction industry, rectangular nuts are often used to firmly connect wooden structures or metal frames, especially in places where a flat contact surface is required.
Mechanical engineering
In mechanical engineering, they are used to secure components in tight spaces where traditional nut shapes are impractical.
Electrical engineering
In electrical engineering, they are suitable for fastening switchgear or housings, as they enable a high clamping force in a small space.
And other specialized areas
Rectangular nuts offer a specific solution to technical challenges where standard nuts are not suitable due to lack of space or specific load requirements. Their unique shape and clamping force make them a preferred choice for many industries.

Rectangular nuts offer these advantages
Rectangular nuts are specialized fasteners that are used in certain applications to provide specific technical and practical benefits. Here are the main advantages of rectangular nuts:
Prevention of twisting
Rectangular nuts offer excellent resistance to twisting due to their rectangular shape. This feature is particularly useful in confined spaces or installations where the nut is held in a slot or guide and must not be allowed to rotate.
Optimum fit for limited space
Their elongated shape makes them ideal for applications where installation space is limited and a conventional square or hexagonal nut would not fit perfectly. They make more efficient use of the available space.
Increased contact surface
Rectangular nuts offer improved load distribution due to their larger contact surfaces. This is particularly beneficial when the fasteners are used on materials with lower density or thickness to reduce the risk of indentation or material damage.
Use in special constructions
This type of nut is particularly suitable for special designs in which the nuts are used in slots or guides to enable linear movement or positioning without rotating.
Simplified installation in guide rails
Rectangular nuts are ideal for mounting in guide rails as they can be moved in the rail without rotating. This makes it easier to fit and adjust the positioning during installation.
Economic efficiency
Although they may not be as universally applicable as other nut shapes, rectangular nuts can be cost-effective in their specific applications because they provide a precise solution without additional components or customization.
