Description
The OAF Float Nut Self-Locking Anchor Nut is a high-strength floating anchor nut designed for secure fastening in composite materials, resins, and lightweight structures. Unlike the OAFRS version, this standard OAF float nut features a fixed self-locking nut, making it ideal for permanent or long-term installations where durability and vibration resistance are critical.
controlled lateral movement of the threaded nut, simplifying bolt alignment and reducing installation stress in composite panels.
Key Features & Benefits
- Fixed self-locking nut design for permanent, high-reliability installations
- Floating anchor nut allows radial movement for easier bolt alignment
- Self-locking deformed thread resists loosening under vibration
- Zinc-nickel finish with MoS2 low-friction coating
- No cadmium and no chrome VI for environmental compliance
- Suitable for temperatures up to 235°C
- Designed for riveting installation in thin materials
Common Applications
- Composite and resin structures
- Aerospace interior and secondary structures
- Automotive and motorsports assemblies
- Lightweight panels requiring vibration-resistant fastening
- Industrial equipment using composite substrates
