M10 Butterfly Nuts (10mm) Zinc Plated Wing Nut Fastener

M10 Butterfly Nuts (10mm) Zinc Plated Wing Nut Fastener

Our M10 butterfly nuts are engineered with precision to ensure a steadfast and robust fastening solution. Boasting a thread diameter of 10mm, these nuts are appropriate for diverse applications that demand quick and effortless assembly or disassembly. Constructed from premium zinc-plated steel, they provide superb resistance to corrosion, which makes them perfect for use both indoors and outdoors.

Also recognized as wing nuts, our butterfly nuts are intended for manual tightening, which omits the necessity for additional tools and makes them highly convenient for regular, on-the-fly adjustments. The design of the wings offers ample leverage to secure or release the nut by hand, guaranteeing a strong connection while also simplifying the process of detachment when required.

Our M10 butterfly nuts are especially advantageous in settings where space is constrained, such as in narrow areas or close to wall surfaces. Their adaptable nature ensures they are in demand across a variety of industries, including automotive, construction, and machinery, as well as for home DIY enthusiasts.

The application of a zinc coating not only reinforces their durability by warding off rust but also bestows the nuts with an immaculate, professional appearance. This protective layer is particularly valuable in moist or corrosive conditions, enhancing the overall longevity of the nut.

What Applications Are M10 Butterfly Nuts Suitable For?

The M10 Butterfly Nut is an extremely versatile component that can be used in a wide range of applications, including those that require the use of no specialized tools for assembly and disassembly. As M10s have a 10mm thread diameter, they are substantial enough for more robust applications than their smaller counterparts. Typically, they are used for situations that require frequent adjustments, such as exhibition displays, theater sets, or any temporary structure requiring quick dismantling. Machinery M10 Butterfly Nuts are used to secure panels or equipment covers that require regular access for maintenance or adjustment. The automotive industry also uses them to secure components within the vehicle where vibration can cause other nut types to loosen over time, yet quick removal without tools is still a necessity. DIY enthusiasts appreciate M10 Butterfly Nuts because they can be easily tightened or released by hand, making them great for furniture assembly and home repairs. The strength of a 10mm thread is sufficient for lightweight to medium-duty tasks, and hand tightening is convenient.

Is The Zinc Coating On M10 Butterfly Nuts Durable?

Zinc coatings on M10 Butterfly Nuts are chosen because of their durability and corrosion resistance. Galvanization involves coating steel fasteners with zinc. Because zinc serves as a sacrificial anode, it will corrode instead of the steel underneath, thereby significantly extending the nut’s life. In humid environments or areas prone to rust, such as coastal regions or industrial sites exposed to chemicals or saline water, this property is especially useful. Galvanization also provides a tough surface that can withstand regular tightening and loosening. Zinc layer thickness and environmental conditions will determine how long the coating will last. The zinc coating on M10 Butterfly Nuts ensures that they remain functional and maintain a good appearance for many years, negating the need for frequent replacement and providing a cost-effective solution in the long run.

Can M10 Butterfly Nuts Be Tightened By Hand To A Specific Torque?

In applications where precision torque is not the primary concern, M10 Butterfly Nuts are designed for hand tightening. While it is possible to hand-tighten these nuts to a “feels right” level of tightness, achieving a specific torque value by hand is inherently imprecise and not recommended for structural or safety critical applications. As a result of the design of the wings on the butterfly nut, it provides better grip and leverage than a standard nut, resulting in a relatively secure fit that is adequate for most everyday uses. If precise torque values are required, torque wrenches or other torque-controlled tools should be used with nuts designed to meet such standards. It is more appropriate to use other fastener types in industrial or mechanical settings where specific torque settings are required. In spite of this, M10 Butterfly Nuts can be appropriately tightened by feel for many non-critical applications, and they are easy to remove for maintenance or adjustments without specialized tools.
