Why are hexagonal nuts the most common in life?
Screws and nuts are very common in daily life. There are many kinds of nuts, such as square nuts, round nuts, ring nuts, butterfly nuts, hexagonal nuts, etc. The most common is the hexagonal nut, so why is the hexagonal nut the most common? What is the importance?
1. The nut is made into a hexagonal shape, which is more convenient to use. On the machine, the place to install the nut is sometimes not enough, and the wrench space for the nut is also narrow. At this time, if a hexagonal nut is used, we only need to turn the wrench 60 degrees at a time and slowly tighten the nut, while the hexagonal nut needs to be turned 90 degrees at a time. That is to say, the hexagon is very small in the space required to tighten the nut, but because the contact surface between the wrench and the octagonal nut is small and easy to slide, the octagonal nut is rarely used. Therefore, the hexagonal nut is the most convenient and practical. Then look at the wrench. The wrench handle and the wrench can form an angle of 30 degrees, so when the position is narrow during the installation of the nut and the wrench cannot move freely, the hexagonal nut can be tightened by pulling the wrench once, turning the wrench over and adjusting the nut again.
Secondly, in order to make full use of the material, the nut is hexagonal. Because from the perspective of strength, the large nut must be stronger than the small nut. In the past, nuts were usually milled from round materials. The same round bar used to make hexagonal nuts is more efficient than making hexagonal fixed nuts, and hexagonal nuts made from round bars of various thicknesses are far more suitable than hexagonal nuts.
In short, hexagonal nuts are easy to use and can improve the utilization of materials, so they are favored by users.
The above questions are why it is important to use hexagonal nuts frequently. I hope to provide an important reference for everyone when using hexagonal bolts.
