Our DIN 935 Hex Castle Nuts (also known as Hex Slotted Nuts) are precision-engineered, single-piece fasteners designed for secure, vibration-resistant connections where reliable mechanical locking is essential. Featuring a standard hexagonal body with a cylindrical upper section containing precisely machined slots, these nuts are engineered to work in conjunction with cotter pins or wire to create a permanent, fail-safe lock. Manufactured in strict compliance with DIN 935 standards, they offer consistent quality and reliability for mechanical, automotive, and industrial applications where safety is paramount.

Key Features & Benefits
Positive Mechanical Locking: The integrated slotted crown allows a cotter pin or wire to be inserted through both the nut slots and a pre-drilled hole in the mating bolt, physically preventing rotation and loosening under extreme vibration or dynamic loads.
Single-Piece Design: Unlike separate lock nuts and washers, the DIN 935 is a unified component, simplifying inventory and assembly while ensuring perfect slot alignment.
High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from graded steel or stainless steel, these nuts provide excellent tensile strength and durability for demanding applications.
Reusable & Adjustable: While providing a secure lock, the design allows for disassembly and reassembly by simply removing and replacing the cotter pin, facilitating maintenance and adjustments.
Visual Safety Indicator: The installed cotter pin provides immediate visual confirmation that the connection is properly secured, aiding in safety inspections.
Corrosion-Resistant Options: Available in electro-zinc plated, hot-dip galvanized, and stainless steel finishes to suit various environmental conditions.
Intended Applications
DIN 935 Castle Nuts are essential in applications where vibration-induced loosening poses a safety or operational risk:
Automotive & Transportation: Wheel bearings, kingpins, steering linkages, and suspension components.
Agricultural & Heavy Machinery: Implement attachments, pivot points, and driveline assemblies.
Industrial Machinery: Rotating shafts, spindle assemblies, and critical linkages.
Marine & Offshore: Rudder assemblies, deck hardware, and rigging fittings.
Bicycle & Mobility: Axle nuts on bicycles, motorcycles, and carts.
Installation Guidelines
1.Assemble Components: Thread the nut onto the pre-drilled bolt or stud and tighten to the recommended torque.
2.Align Slots: Continue tightening (or slightly loosening, if necessary) until one of the nut's slots aligns perfectly with the cross-hole in the bolt.
3.Insert Cotter Pin: Insert a correctly sized cotter pin through the aligned slots and bolt hole.
4.Secure Pin: Separate the legs of the cotter pin slightly and bend them around the nut's crown to secure it in place. For safety, always bend both legs.
