INNOVATIVE COUNTER NUT WITH SELF-LOCKING EFFECT
The CONU counter nut is a completely newly developed locking element (patent pending). Compared to conventional hexagon nuts this counter nut offers a variety of advantages depending on the application, such as reduced space requirements and flow resistance as well as a lower risk of injury. Due to its unique shape CONU fits into the countersink without any protrusion. The result: an almost flat surface.
Thanks to its wedge effect, CONU does not require any additional securing elements, prevents self-loosening and is easy to install without counter tools, even one-handed.
CONU convinces with its versatile potential applications and advantages. Due to its easy handling and the possibility to use it in almost all common materials the application extends to all branches and industries.
The key element of CONU is its construction and design: Due to the angle difference of nut and sink plus the added tooth system, the self-locking mechanism starts and gets stronger the further the nut is pulled into the mould.
A selection of vibration tests, commonly known as Junker-test proved the preload force remains constant and that settling effects remain rather low at 15%.
At market launch, CONU is available in two different versions in dimensions M6 to M16. This means that CONU can be used with screws of a stiffness grade 8.8 and 10.9.
