The Long Nut provides extended thread engagement compared to a standard hex nut — useful in setups where high torque or repeated load cycling put additional demand on standard nuts.
Where a regular nut engages 6–8 threads, the Long Nut engages significantly more, distributing the clamping load across a greater length of the stud thread. This reduces thread wear on both the nut and the stud, extending the service life of your clamping hardware.
Commonly used on heavy roughing setups, slotting operations and fixtures subject to strong intermittent cutting forces. Also useful when you need extra height above the clamp surface for clearance.
Manufactured from medium carbon steel, hardened and tempered to HRC 24–32 with black oxide coating. Available in 10 variants. Ships from ready stock; custom sizes manufactured to your requirement.
