Shear Nuts: Secure and Tamper-Proof Fasteners
Shear nuts are a specialized type of nut designed to create a permanent fixture after installation. They combine a bowl and a hex nut. The unique design allows the hexagonal part of the nut to shear off at a pre-determined torque, leaving behind a tamper-proof, non-removable cone. Shear nuts are available in bright zinc-plated steel (EN1A) or stainless steel (304) to meet different application needs.
Stainless Steel Shear Nut Mechanical Properties:
| Size | M6 | M8 | M10 | M12 | M16 | M20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shear Torque (LB/FT) | 5-9 | 10-15 | 23-28 | 38-44 | 54-60 | 72-82 |
| Shear Torque (NM) | 7-14 | 14-20 | 31-38 | 52-60 | 74-82 | 100-113 |
Application and Security:
Shear nuts provide an inexpensive yet effective solution against theft and unauthorized relocation of valuable fixtures such as seating. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing standard tooling. Upon full tightening, the hex drive head is engineered to shear off when additional torque is applied. This leaves the shear bolt or the threaded conical lower collar of the shear nut permanently in place on the bolt or stud thread, ensuring a secure and fixed installation.
