Wing nuts are versatile fasteners featuring double wing handles for quick manual tightening and loosening without requiring tools. Manufactured from zinc alloy materials (Zamak 3, Zamak 5), these fasteners combine practicality with aesthetic appeal and moderate corrosion resistance, making them ideal for applications requiring frequent disassembly or rapid fixation.
| Parameter Category | Specific Parameter | Detailed Description |
|---|---|---|
| Material and Surface Treatment | Main Material |
Zamak 3: Tensile strength 280-320MPa, excellent castability, suitable for medium-light load applications Zamak 5: Tensile strength 320-380MPa, higher hardness and wear resistance, ideal for precision fixing |
| Surface Treatment |
Chromium plating: 5-10μm thickness, salt spray test ≥150 hours, excellent corrosion resistance with glossy finish Electrophoretic coating: Uniform organic film, salt spray test ≥80 hours, suitable for indoor decorative applications |
|
| Specification Parameters | Thread Standard | Metric (M3-M20), American (1/4"-3/4"), thread precision 6g, compatible with bolts of same grade |
| Wing Span Size | M6 model: 22-28mm; M10 model: 32-38mm, ergonomically designed for comfortable grip | |
| Load-Bearing Range | M8 Zamak 5 model: maximum static load ≤1.8kN (when matched with appropriate bolt strength) |
Align with bolt threads and tighten manually. Avoid excessive torque (recommended ≤15N*m for M8) to prevent wing deformation. Use plastic washers to protect contact surfaces.
Zinc alloy wing nuts provide an optimal combination of operability, aesthetics, and moderate performance for light-load, appearance-oriented applications requiring medium corrosion resistance.
