Acorn nuts are commonly used in engineering jigs or fixtures in conjunction with studs to provide secure and reliable fastening. When working with jigs or fixtures, precision and stability are crucial. Acorn nuts, also known as cap nuts, are designed with a domed top that covers the exposed end of the stud, offering protection against damage and ensuring a smooth surface. This design minimizes the risk of accidents and maintains the integrity of the jig or fixture. The combination of acorn nuts and studs creates a secure and easily adjustable connection, making them an essential component for precise and efficient engineering processes.
