A spring nut is a type of nut that has a built-in spring mechanism. This allows the nut to be compressed and inserted into a hole or slot, where the spring action holds the nut in place. This design enables the nut to be easily installed without the need for additional fasteners or alignment.
Spring nuts are commonly used in applications where access for traditional nut and bolt assemblies is limited, such as in automotive, machinery, and furniture manufacturing. The spring action allows the nut to be securely positioned within a cavity or channel, providing a secure attachment point.
The specific dimensions provided in the drawing, including the overall width, length, hole diameter, thickness, and spring length, would allow this particular spring nut to be properly specified and manufactured to suit the requirements of the application.
