Hex Slotted Castle Nut DIN935
Hex slotted castle nut DIN935 is a precision fastening component designed for applications requiring secure locking and easy mechanical retention. The hex slotted castle nut DIN935 features machined slots on the top section, allowing the use of a cotter pin or split pin through the bolt hole to prevent loosening during operation.
The hex slotted castle nut DIN935 is widely used in automotive systems, machinery, agricultural equipment, steering assemblies, shafts, and industrial mechanical connections where additional locking security is required.
Product Overview
The hex slotted castle nut DIN935 is a six-sided locking nut manufactured according to DIN935 standard requirements. The castellated design includes evenly spaced slots around the top of the nut, allowing installation with a matching bolt or stud that has a cross-drilled hole.
After tightening, a cotter pin can be inserted through the slot and bolt hole to create a positive mechanical locking system. Unlike friction-based locking nuts, the hex slotted castle nut DIN935 provides a visible and reliable locking method suitable for safety-critical assemblies.
This type of nut is commonly selected by engineers and manufacturers requiring secure fastening in applications exposed to vibration, rotation, or dynamic loads.
