Mini bike slotted nuts are mainly used in applications where vibrations can loosen an ordinary nut. Check out the wide range of quality slotted nuts at OMB Warehouse. A slotted nut has slots cut into one end of the nut. When it is used in an application, a bolt or threaded bar generally has a pre-drilled hole so that when the slotted nut is threaded on and torqued to the required position, it can be then secured using a cotter pin or tightened to prevent rotation. Slotted nuts are used in applications where vibration or motion might undo the locknut. Both a castle nut and slotted nut look similar, and can often be used interchangeably because they have almost identical dimensions. However, they are different in that the protrusions on a slotted nut are from the base of the nut and include the corners, whereas a castle nut looks like a standard nut with triangular portions protruding, but not including the corners of the hex. Slotted nuts are generally manufactured as standard from steel grade 4, 8 and 10, and A2 and A4 stainless steel. A range of Mini bike slotted nuts sizes, thread styles and materials are available from stock, with any special size or dimensions available on order.
