Collar Nuts

Collar nuts, also known as flange nuts, feature a wide flange or collar at one end that acts as an integrated washer. This design distributes the pressure of the nut over a larger area, which reduces the risk of damaging the material being secured and provides increased locking strength. They are often used in applications where vibration might cause a standard nut to loosen, such as in automotive assemblies, machinery, and construction projects. Their integrated washer design also eliminates the need for a separate washer, simplifying installation. When selecting collar nuts, it's essential to consider factors like material and thread size based on the specific requirements of the application.
