1. Also known as jam nuts, these are about half the height of standard hex nuts. Use them in low-clearance applications or jam one against another nut to hold it in place. They're suitable for fastening most machinery and equipment when used in conjunction with a standard hex nut. Zinc-plated steel nuts resist corrosion in wet environments.
2. Half as thick as regular hex nuts, these nuts fit into spaces with low-height clearances. They are about half as strong as medium-strength steel and are often used for light-duty applications, such as securing access panels. Also known as jam nuts, they can be threaded together to form a locknut that won’t move or loosen due to vibration. When fastening a threaded rod, you can use two nuts to create a point for tightening the rod with a wrench. These nuts have less tensile strength than a standard hex nut when used alone. Made of steel, they’re best for dry environments, since moisture and chemicals will cause them to rust.DIN 936 nuts are sometimes taller and wider than ISO 4035 nuts. Although it’s no longer active, DIN 936 is still a commonly referenced standard for material and dimensional compatibility.ISO 4035 (formerly DIN 439B) nuts are chamfered, so their edges are less sharp than DIN 936 nuts. This new ISO standard is functionally the same as the DIN standard it replaced, with slightly different tolerances for width.
