DIN 508-16-M12-10 hexagonal nut Z012400

DIN 508-16 Slotted Nut – solid fastening with control

The DIN 508-16-M12-10 slotted nut is a fastening element widely used in machines and equipment where precise and reliable fastening is required. It is characterized by the presence of a slot, enabling torque control and preventing self-loosening of the connection. This is particularly important in applications exposed to vibration or dynamic loads.

Design and materials

The nut is manufactured according to the DIN 508 standard, guaranteeing its dimensions and mechanical properties. It is available in various material versions, including carbon steel and stainless steel (AISI 304 and AISI 316Ti), allowing it to be adapted to specific environmental conditions. Stainless steel provides corrosion resistance, which is crucial in outdoor or humid applications. Tensile strength can be class 8 or 10, which affects the permissible loads.

Applications and benefits

DIN 508-16 slotted nuts are commonly used in:

• Machines and equipment: as fastening elements for housings, structural elements and accessories.
• Steel structures: for joining structural elements.
• Automotive industry: in suspension components, exhaust systems and other parts.
• Construction: for fastening structural elements and installations.

Using DIN 508-16 slotted nuts translates to:

• High connection reliability: the slot allows torque control, ensuring connection stability even under varying loads.
• Resistance to loosening: the nut design minimizes the risk of self-loosening, increasing safety.
• Adaptability to different conditions: the availability of different materials allows you to choose the optimal solution for specific environmental conditions.
• Compliance with standards: production according to the DIN 508 standard guarantees high quality and interchangeable parts.
