DIN 508-10-M6-8 hex nut Z012387

T-nuts – solid fastening with DIN 508 standard

T-nuts, also known as slotted nuts, are fastening elements with a wide range of applications in machines and equipment. They are characterized by the presence of a slot that allows for the insertion of a locking pin, preventing the nut from rotating during operation. Model DIN 508-10-M6-8 is a proven connector element, manufactured in accordance with DIN 508 standard, which guarantees its dimensions and mechanical properties.

Construction and materials

This nut is made of steel, which ensures its high strength and resistance to mechanical damage. It is available in various versions – heat-treated steel (strength class 8 and 10) and stainless steel (AISI 316Ti and AISI 304). The choice of the appropriate material depends on the environmental conditions in which the nut will be used. Stainless steel is particularly recommended for outdoor applications or in corrosive environments.

Applications and benefits

DIN 508 T-nuts are used in many industries, including:

• Mechanical engineering: Fastening structural elements of machines and equipment.

• Construction: Assembly of steel elements and load-bearing structures.

• Automotive industry: Application in vehicle chassis and other structural elements.

• Agricultural machinery: Fastening elements of agricultural machines.

Using T-nuts with a locking pin provides:

• High safety: Prevents the nut from loosening spontaneously due to vibrations or dynamic loads.

• Precise positioning: The locking pin ensures accurate positioning of the fastened elements.

• Connection durability: Steel construction guarantees long-term connection reliability.

• Compliance with standards: Meeting the DIN 508 standard ensures compatibility with other connecting elements and guarantees quality.

Additionally, for nuts of strength class 8, a full version without a hole for a locking pin can be made – it is worth considering this when ordering, omitting the thread size in the product designation.
