Description
The Float Nut OAFRS Self-Locking Anchor Nut is a high-performance floating anchor nut engineered for precision composite assemblies where alignment tolerance and serviceability matter. Designed specifically for demanding applications in aerospace, automotive, and advanced composites, this fastener features a removable self-locking nut plate that sets it apart from typical floating anchor nuts. It also delivers reliable anchoring in carbon fiber, resins, and other composites where conventional fixed anchor nuts are difficult to install or maintain.
The floating nut element automatically compensates for misalignment during assembly, helping prevent cross threading and installation scrap.
A mechanical self-locking bush provides strong vibration resistance and prevents loosening under dynamic loads, eliminating the need for secondary locking devices.
When service is required, the bush can be replaced without disturbing the plate, reducing downtime and preserving the integrity of the base material.
Key Features & Benefits
- Removable Self-Locking Nut Plate for easy replacement without removing the entire anchor nut assembly from the substrate.
- Floating nut design compensates for hole misalignment and thermal movement.
- Mechanical self-locking bush resists loosening in vibration-prone applications.
- Replaceable bush extends service life and lowers maintenance cost.
- Ideal for thin composites and non load bearing materials such as carbon fiber and resins.
- Stainless steel plate provides excellent corrosion resistance.
- Riveted installation using standard tools – no special tooling required.
- Patent pending technology for high performance fastening.
- Cost saving alternative to traditional fixed anchor nut plates.
Common Applications
