DIN917 Low Type Hexagon Cap Nuts
DIN 917 Low Type Hexagon Cap Nuts feature a compact domed top that covers and protects the exposed end of a bolt or stud while maintaining a low overall profile. Compared with standard cap nuts, the low-type design requires less vertical clearance, making it useful where space above the fastening point is limited.
The enclosed top helps protect exposed threads from contact, dirt, moisture, and accidental damage, while the hexagonal body allows installation and removal with standard wrenches or sockets. DIN 917 cap nuts can be supplied in carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with different finishes available according to the required mechanical and environmental performance. These low-profile cap nuts are suitable for machinery, equipment covers, guards, brackets, panels, and other assemblies where exposed threads need protection without adding unnecessary height. When selecting a DIN 917 nut, customers should consider the thread size and pitch, available clearance, material, mechanical requirements, and surface finish to ensure proper fit and service performance.


Specification:
DIN 917 Low Type Hexagon Cap Nuts are manufactured according to the dimensional requirements of DIN 917 for metric threaded connections. The low-profile domed design covers the exposed end of the mating bolt or stud while requiring less installation height than a standard high-type cap nut. Carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel options can be supplied with different property classes and surface treatments according to the required mechanical and environmental conditions.

Application of DIN917 Low Type Hexagon Cap Nuts:
Machinery & Equipment
DIN 917 Low Type Hexagon Cap Nuts are suitable for machinery, industrial equipment, machine guards, covers, and mechanical assemblies where exposed bolt or stud threads need protection. The low profile helps maintain a compact assembly while the domed top covers the protruding thread.
Equipment Covers & Protective Guards
The enclosed cap protects exposed threads from contact, dirt, moisture, and accidental damage, making DIN 917 suitable for equipment covers, access panels, protective guards, and other assemblies where a finished and protected fastening point is preferred.
Brackets, Panels & Limited-Clearance Assemblies
The low-type design is particularly useful for brackets, mounting panels, fixtures, and equipment assemblies with limited space above the fastener. Compared with a high-type cap nut, its reduced height can help avoid interference with nearby components.
