Hexagon Nut with Shoulder

A hexagon nut with shoulder is a type of fastener that is used to securely fasten objects together. It has a hexagonal shape with a flange, or shoulder, that extends out from one side of the nut.
The flange serves two purposes: first, it provides a larger surface area for the nut to rest against, which helps to distribute the load more evenly and reduce the risk of damage to the object being fastened. Second, it acts as a stop, preventing the nut from being tightened too far and potentially damaging the object or the fastener itself.
Hexagon nuts with shoulder are commonly used in applications where vibration or movement is likely to occur, as the shoulder helps to prevent the nut from loosening over time. They can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, stainless steel, brass, and nylon, and come in a range of sizes to suit different applications.
