Assortment Nuts DIN934 & DIN 985, ZN in Case 610pcs

The two standards in this assortment each have their own application. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right nut for the job more quickly.

The difference between DIN 934 and DIN 985

DIN 934 is the standard hexagon nut. You use it for most general connections with a bolt or threaded rod. DIN 985 is a self-locking nut with a plastic locking ring. This ring provides extra resistance to loosening, for example in places where vibration occurs. If the case contains a specific size or distribution per standard, check the product description or ask before ordering.

Who is a nut assortment in a case useful for?

A case with assorted nuts suits mechanics, installers, maintenance departments and anyone who regularly does varying fastening jobs. You do not have to open a separate package for every small repair. For a large series of one size, a single box is usually more practical, while for varied work an assortment is quicker.

What to consider when choosing nuts

Thread size and material must match the bolt or threaded rod you are working with. The zinc-plated surface offers basic protection against rust. For outdoor applications or a damp environment, another finish, such as stainless steel, may be more suitable. Preferably combine nuts with bolts of the same thread size and a similar material.

Supplementing your assortment

If a size is missing or you also need bolts, look in the Nuts and Bolts categories under Mechanical fastening. Proffix can also source items that are not in stock, and you can order via the webshop, by phone or by email.
