Do you need a low-profile knurled nut that makes it easy to adjust and tighten joints without tools? Knurled nut A1 DIN 467 in stainless steel features a knurled outer edge and a low profile that allows for quick manual assembly even in tight spaces. It is made of A1 stainless steel, providing basic corrosion protection and ensuring a long service life in dry or slightly damp environments. Thanks to its flat design, it is well-suited for applications where space is limited but adjustability must be maintained.

FIELD OF APPLICATION

Perfect for instruments, machines, furniture, signs, and adjustable structures where manual tightening without tools is desired. The knurled gripping surface provides good control and grip during manual operation, making adjustments quick and smooth. The nut requires minimal maintenance and is ideal for lighter mechanical applications.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

What distinguishes a low-profile knurled nut (DIN 467) from a high-profile knurled nut (DIN 466)?

DIN 467 specifies knurled nuts with a very low profile and an integrated contact flange:

  • Compact assembly height: The low profile makes the nut ideal for tight spaces or where protruding components would interfere with rotating parts and covers.

  • Integrated contact flange: The flange under the knurled ring distributes pressure over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of scratches or deformation on the substrate when the nut is tightened by hand.

  • Ergonomic fine-tuning: The knurled edge provides a good fingertip grip for fast screwing and unscrewing, as well as precision when fine-tuning stop and measuring devices.

Why is A1 stainless free-cutting steel (AISI 303) used for knurled components?

A1 steel (1.4305 / AISI 303) is a sulfur-alloyed stainless free-cutting steel developed for machining:

  • Sharp and durable knurling: Allows for precise turning of the fine grooves, providing a non-slip finger grip without sharp burrs.

  • Thread stability: Provides strong and dimensionally stable threads that withstand continuous manual operation and repeated adjustments without seizing or wearing out.

  • Corrosion resistance: Provides excellent protection against moisture, oils, and cutting fluids in indoor and workshop environments.

What should be considered when mounting and tightening flat knurled nuts?

  1. Designed for hand tightening only: The nut is designed for manual adjustment with the fingers. Do not use pliers, as this will damage the knurled surface and affect the flatness of the flange.

  2. Limited tightening torque: Because the low profile provides a shorter thread length than a standard nut, it should not be used in heavy-duty load-bearing joints.

  3. Placement in tight spaces: Ensure there is enough finger clearance around the outer diameter of the nut so that you can turn it freely without tools.
