Min. Order: 1 Piece

Castle slotted hexagonal nuts, often simply called castle nuts, are hexagonal fasteners with a distinct feature: slots cut into the top of the nut. These slots allow for the insertion of a cotter pin, which secures the nut in place and prevents it from loosening due to vibration or movement. The hexagonal shape enables easy tightening with standard wrenches. Typically made from steel or stainless steel for durability, castle nuts are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and machinery applications where safety and reliability are crucial. They are designed to work with a corresponding bolt or threaded shaft, and the combination of the nut and cotter pin ensures a secure and stable connection, even under high-stress conditions.
