Head Nuts
Metric head nuts, including acorn nuts and cap nuts, are used to finish assemblies by connecting to a metric bolt or screw. After the bolt is placed through a pre-cut hole, the nut is installed by screwing onto the end. They are a cost-effective and highly efficient option for constructing assemblies across industries.

The Difference Between Cap Nuts & Acorn Nuts
Metric acorn nuts and cap nuts are used in applications where the external thread of a bolt or screw cannot be exposed. Installing them improves the durability and overall aesthetic appeal of your assembly. However, there are slight differences. Where acorn nuts feature a domed top to create an acorn-like shape, cap nuts are designed with a slightly curved top. Both deliver dependable and long-lasting performances, and your best choice will depend on the needs of your application.We offer an extensive range of metric head nuts to match your specifications, but we also understand not all jobs are satisfied by off-the-shelf components.
