What are square nuts?
Square nuts are a type of fastener that, as the name suggests, have a square shape. This shape gives them a unique appearance and certain functional properties compared to the more common hexagonal nuts. Square nuts are typically used in conjunction with square head bolts or studs. Their square shape helps to distribute torque evenly and prevent the nut from twisting when tightening or loosening. They are usually made of steel, stainless steel, brass or other metals, depending on the strength and corrosion resistance requirements.
Where square nuts are used
Square nuts are primarily used where high load-bearing capacity and reliability are required. Their square shape enables good force transmission and prevents the nut from turning during assembly, which is particularly advantageous in areas that are difficult to access. Typical applications include:
Rail transport
In the assembly and maintenance of rail vehicles and infrastructure, where secure fastening is essential.
Furniture industry
For the assembly of furniture that should allow frequent disassembly and assembly, e.g. modular systems.
Building industry
In the construction industry, they are used in structural elements that require a robust connection.
Mechanical engineering
Square nuts secure moving and static parts in machines and devices that are exposed to regular loads.
Agriculture
They are used in agriculture to attach components to agricultural machinery.
And much more
In these and many other areas, square nuts offer a reliable solution for numerous challenges in the context of secure and long-lasting fastening.

Square nuts offer these advantages
Square nuts offer several advantages that make them particularly suitable for certain applications:
These advantages make square nuts a reliable choice for many technical and industrial applications where a strong and durable fastening is required.
Increased clamping force
Their square shape allows them to provide more contact area on the mating surface, resulting in improved clamping force. This prevents the nut from slipping under vibration or load.
Simple assembly
Their shape makes them easier to hold and tighten, especially in confined or hard-to-reach areas. This is particularly advantageous for installations where access is only possible from one side.
Resistance to twisting
Due to their geometry, square nuts turn less easily under load. This helps to maintain the integrity of the connection over a longer period of time.
Use without special tools
No specialized tools are required for the assembly and disassembly of square nuts, which can be an advantage in simple or urgent repair situations.
Costs
They are generally less expensive to manufacture than specially shaped or precision machined nuts, making them an economical choice for many industrial applications.
