Type I hexagon nuts are the most widely used. Type 1 nuts are divided into three levels: A, B, and C. Among them, A and B nuts are suitable for machines, equipment and structures with small surface roughness and high precision requirements. Grade C nuts are used on machines, equipment or structures with rough surfaces and low precision requirements;
The thickness of the II type hexagon nut is relatively thick, and it is mostly used in occasions where assembly and disassembly are often required.
Type I nuts refer to ordinary hexagon nuts with a nominal nut height m≥0.8D, and their type and size should meet the requirements of GB/T6170;
The height of type II nut is higher than that of type 1, and its type and size should conform to GB/T6175. There are two purposes for adding type II nuts: one is to obtain a relatively inexpensive nut that does not require heat treatment by increasing the height of the nut.
Because the 8-level I-type nuts with D≤M16 do not need heat treatment, among the 8-level nuts, only the specifications of D>M16~39 can use the 2-type nuts.
Obviously, type I nuts that do not require heat treatment cannot meet the mechanical performance requirements of grade 9 nuts. Another purpose of specifying type II nuts is to obtain a grade 12 nut with better toughness. As the height of the nut increases, the guaranteed stress index can be achieved at a lower quenching and tempering hardness, so the toughness of the nut is increased.
Classified by tooth distance: standard teeth, regular teeth, fine teeth, very fine teeth and inverted teeth.
