Spring Nut

Spring Nut

A spring nut, also known as a captive nut or clip nut, is a specialized fastening component that provides a secure and adjustable connection in various applications. It is typically a metal nut with one or more spring-like projections on its inner surface. These projections create a gripping action when the nut is inserted into a compatible channel or groove, such as those found in strut channels or extruded aluminum profiles. As the nut is tightened, the spring-like projections compress against the channel, creating a firm grip and preventing the nut from loosening or slipping. Spring nuts are commonly used in industries such as construction, automotive, and electrical installations, where they enable easy and secure attachment of accessories, brackets, or equipment to structural elements. They offer flexibility by allowing for quick adjustments and repositioning without the need for additional tools or disassembly. The use of spring nuts helps streamline installation processes, enhance efficiency, and ensure the reliability of connections in a wide range of applications.
