Nut (hardware)
A nut threaded onto a bolt

A nut is a type of hardware fastener with a threaded hole. Nuts are almost always used
opposite a mating bolt to fasten a stack of parts together. The two partners are kept
together by a combination of their threads' friction, a slight stretch of the bolt, and
compression of the parts. In applications where vibration or rotation may work a nut
loose, various locking mechanisms may be employed: Adhesives, safety pins or lockwire,
nylon inserts, or slightly oval-shaped threads. The most common shape is hexagonal, for
similar reasons as the bolt head - 6 sides give a good granularity of angles for a tool to
approach from (good in tight spots), but more (and smaller) corners would be vulnerable
to being rounded off. Other specialized shapes exist for certain needs, such as wing nuts
for finger adjustment and captive nuts for inaccessible areas.

Nuts are graded with strength ratings compatible with their respective bolts; for example,
an ISO property class 10 nut will be able to support the bolt proof strength load of an ISO
property class 10.9 bolt without stripping. Likewise, an SAE class 5 nut can support the
proof load of an SAE class 5 bolt, and so on. The proof strength of the most common
property classes is listed at bolted joint.

Nuts come in many sizes. This one is part of the Sydney Harbour Bridge
