What Is a Nut?

A nut is a threaded mechanical fastener with an internal thread designed to work with a matching bolt or screw.

The internal thread allows the nut and bolt to create a clamping force, securely joining two or more components together.

For example:

  • M4 × 0.7 nut matches an M4 × 0.7 screw

  • 1/4"-20 nut matches a 1/4"-20 screw

Correct thread matching is essential to ensure:

  • Proper installation

  • Reliable fastening

  • Load capacity

  • Long service life
