Yellow Zinc Plated Cage Nuts

Details Information

Introduction

A Cage Nut consists of a square nut in a spring steel cage which wraps around the nut. The cage has two wings that, when compressed, allow the cage to be inserted into the square holes in equipment racks. When the wings are released they hold the nut in position behind the hole. This makes cage nuts easily replaceable.

 Features 

Using cage nuts provides several benefits over threaded holes. It permits a range of choice of nut and bolts size (e.g. metric vs imperial) in the field, long after the equipment has been manufactured. Second, if a screw is over-tightened, the nut can be replaced, unlike a pre-threaded hole, where a hole with stripped threads becomes unusable. Third, cage nuts are easy to use on materials too thin or soft to be threaded. 

 Applications 

Widely used in the electrical box, electrical cabinet, railway, and other industries.
