Explanation:

Nut

A nut is a type of fastener with a threaded hole.

There are the following types of nut used.

Dome nut

 

  • The dome nut is similar to the hexagonal nut with a spherical cap at the top.
  • It is also known as Acorn Nuts or Cap nuts.
  • The dome nut is used to protect the end of the bolt from corrosion.

Capstan Nut

 

  • This is in the form of a cylinder with holes drilled in the curved surface.
  • These holes can be used to turn the nut by placing a Tommy bar in it.

 

Wing Nut

 

  • It is a nut that has a wide flange at one end that acts as an integrated washer.
  • This serves to distribute the pressure of the nut over the part being secured, reducing the chance of damage to the part and making it less likely to loosen as a result of an uneven fastening surface. 
  • These nuts are mostly hexagonal in shape and are made up of hardened steel and often coated with zinc.
