Cassette nuts are generally high in strength and can be repeatedly disassembled and used, which has the advantages of rapid and convenient installation.
The cassette nut is suitable for electrical boxes, electrical cabinets, railways, vehicles, molds and other industries. For example, you need to install parts on a certain rack, and there are no internal threads on the rack. This time, it is suitable to use a cage nut. You only need to make a hole in the rack to lock the cage nut inside, and then tighten the parts to be installed. can.
It is also relatively simple to install, press in, and use two sides of the card to fix it on the board. Then other products can be assembled with the crown nut and the cage nut to complete the assembly. The floating nut is toothed on the outside, and a square nut is in the middle. The square nut is assembled in the middle by riveting and can move freely left and right, so it is called a floating nut. The advantage is that the installation deviation can be easily corrected and the screws can be fixed in place.
