Hex Jam Nuts

Hex Jam Nuts

Finished jam nuts, sometimes referred to as thin nuts, are approximately 65% as thick as a standard hex nut. Jam nuts are often used in pairs, with one nut tightened against the other to lock them in place, hence providing a secure and stable fastening solution. Heavy hex jam nuts are not very common. They are used where a large bearing surface is required and minimal clearance or thread engagement is available.
