People familiar with nuts know that many types of nuts, such as square nuts, round nuts, ring nuts, butterfly nuts, hex nuts, and so on. And then the market is the most common hexagonal nut, and why is the most commonly used hexagonal nuts? To see how netizens say.
Hexagon nuts, is the working people in the production and life in the continuous practice of crystallization.
1. The nut is made hexagonal, is to facilitate the use. On the machine, the parts of the nuts are sometimes not well enough, and the space of the wrenches of the nuts is quite narrow. Hexagon nuts, once only need to pull the wrench 60 degrees, you can slowly tighten the nut, and the four nuts need to pull 90 degrees each time. In other words, in order to tighten the nuts need to stay out of the place, the hexagon is smaller, but the octagonal nut because of the wrench and its contact surface is small, it is easy to slip, usually very little use, so hexagonal nuts use the most convenient. And then look at the wrench, the handle of the wrench and the wrench can be 30 degrees angle, so when the installation of the nut is very narrow place, the wrench can not be free to move, and hex nuts, as long as the wrench pull a nut, And then turn the wrench and then pull a nut, so back and forth repeatedly to pull a few times, you can tighten the nut.
2. The nut is made hexagonal, in order to maximize the use of materials. Because the strength of the point of view, the larger nuts than the small solid, and the past nut is generally made by the circular material milling out, the same a round bar, with it to do hex nuts than four nuts High, and with the same thickness of the round bar out of the hex nut, far more than the four corners of the nut.
In summary, hexagonal nuts use more convenient, but also more to increase the use of materials, therefore, the most common in the market.
