The specifications for hexagon flange nuts with metallic or non-metallic flanges are outlined in DIN 6923. International use and recognition of this German standard are common.
A flange that protrudes from one side of the hexagon nut, as specified in DIN 6923, gives the nut a larger surface area to be tightened against. In addition, the flange serves as a locking mechanism, preventing the nut from loosening and offering resistance to rotating forces.
The dimensions of hexagon flange nuts with metallic or non-metallic flanges, such as those composed of plastic, steel, or stainless steel, are specified in this standard. The standard also details the components, mechanical characteristics, and specifications for testing these nuts.
Hexagon flange nuts DIN 6923 are frequently used in many different applications where high torque levels and vibration resistance are necessary. In the automobile, construction, aerospace, and industrial industries, they are frequently used in conjunction with nuts and screws.
