They are an indispensable part of many technical applications and are used in numerous branches of industry that use screws. Find out more about why twelve-point nuts are so highly valued and what special properties characterize them.
What are twelve-sided nuts?
Twelve-sided nuts, also known as dodecagon nuts, are special fasteners with twelve even surfaces. Compared to conventional hex nuts, this shape offers the advantage that they can be tightened or loosened with a finer angle of rotation, which is particularly practical in confined or hard-to-reach areas. Twelve point nuts are often used in high performance applications such as aerospace, automotive and engineering where precision and high load capacity are required. They are usually made from high-quality materials such as steel, stainless steel or titanium to ensure maximum strength and corrosion resistance.
Where twelve-sided nuts are used
Twelve-sided nuts, also known as multi-tooth nuts, are characterized by their twelve-sided shape, which provides an increased contact surface for tools. This shape enables a more precise and efficient transmission of force compared to conventional hexagon nuts. Twelve-sided nuts are mainly used where space is limited and high mechanical loads are involved. Typical areas of application include
Automotive industry
In automotive production, twelve-point nuts are often used for fastening engine, transmission or chassis parts. Their design allows them to be tightened even in confined spaces, e.g. for wheel bearing or axle connections.
Motorsport
Twelve-sided nuts are widely used in motorsport, as they not only withstand high forces, but also enable quick assembly and disassembly in confined spaces.
Mechanical engineering
In mechanical engineering, twelve-sided nuts are used in applications where high torques are required, such as for flywheels or precision machines.
Heavy industry
In heavy industry, they are used in the assembly of large systems and heavy machinery, as their shape makes them easy to handle even under difficult conditions.
Aerospace
Twelve-edge nuts are used in the aerospace industry, where they provide a reliable fastening in highly stressed connections, such as in engines or structural components.
And many other applications
Thanks to their high load capacity and versatility, twelve-point nuts are a preferred choice in numerous industries. They offer an efficient solution for demanding connections where precision, reliability and space saving are crucial.

Twelve-sided nuts offer these advantages
Twelve-square nuts, also known as dodecagon nuts, offer special advantages and properties that distinguish them from other nut shapes. Here are some of the main advantages of dodecagon nuts:
Improved grip
Thanks to the twelve sides, these nuts offer more points of contact for tools. This improves grip and makes tightening and loosening easier, especially in difficult conditions or in confined spaces where only a limited angle is available for positioning the tool.
Higher torque transmission
Twelve-edge nuts can absorb higher torques without the risk of damaging the corners of the nut. This is particularly important in applications that require a robust connection, such as in the automotive and heavy industry.
Increased durability
Due to the more even distribution of torque over more contact points, twelve-sided nuts are less susceptible to wear and damage compared to nuts with fewer sides.
Good resistance to loosening
The additional corners and sides provide better protection against self-loosening, which can be caused by vibrations and other dynamic forces.
Versatility in application
The twelve-sided shape makes these nuts suitable for a wide range of applications, as they can be used with both standard and special tools. They are often found in the automotive industry, where precise adjustments and high load-bearing capacity are required.
