Product information "Nuts for T-slots DIN 508"

1. Product description

Nuts for T-slots DIN 508, also known as T-slot nuts, are specialized fastening elements designed for use in T-slot constructions according to DIN 650. Made from hardened steel, they provide high strength and durability. These nuts feature a standardized, square design with a threaded hole available in various sizes to accommodate different screw diameters. The bottom of the nut is shaped to fit precisely into the T-slots of machine tables, clamping plates, T-slot rails, or other fixtures. This fit allows for a strong and stable anchoring for fastening and clamping operations. The core function of DIN 508 T-slot nuts is their ability to be used in combination with compatible clamping elements such as screws or bolts to securely and efficiently attach workpieces, components, or fixtures to machine tables or work plates. This fastening method ensures precise alignment and high repeatability in production and assembly processes, making them ideal for use in precise manufacturing environments.

5. Assembly and Installation

Step 1 – Preparation:
- Check the surface: Ensure the T-slots are clean, free of dirt, chips, or corrosion. A clean surface improves fit and performance.
- Inspect the nuts: Check the nuts for any damage or deformation. Damaged nuts should not be used.

Step 2 – Positioning:
- Align the nuts: Position the nuts so that the thread is perpendicular to the T-slot orientation and the slot of the nut faces upward.
- Inserting: Slightly tilt the nut and slide it into the T-slot from the side. Once the nuts are threaded, you can slide them along the T-slot to the desired position.

Step 3 – Fastening:
Choose an appropriate threaded bolt or screw that fits through the internal thread of the nut. Make sure the length of the component is adequate to ensure secure fastening without damaging the workpiece or the machine table.

Installation: Screw the chosen component into the internal thread of the T-slot nut. Tighten the connection so that the workpiece is securely and firmly fixed to the machine table or fixture. Use the recommended torque to avoid overstrain or damage.

Step 4 – Inspection:
- Check safety: After tightening, check all connections for strength and stability. The nut should sit firmly in the T-slot, and there should be no movement between the workpiece and the base.
- Make corrections: If necessary, adjust the position of the nut or tighten the connection further to ensure optimal alignment and security.

Tips for successful assembly:
- Use tools: For more efficient installation, special wrenches or allen keys can be used to reach the recommended torque more easily.
