DIN 982 is a nut used in connection elements that are constantly exposed to dynamic loads, especially vibration, which can cause loosening. The contraction in DIN 982 is achieved by a nylon ring in which the thread is cut during tightening.
Strength class DIN 982
The strength class of a DIN 982 nut is the maximum applied force at which the nut begins to fracture. DIN 982 nuts are manufactured in strength classes 8 and 10. From strength class 8 onwards, the nut is considered high-strength.
DIN 982 fastening group
The nuts are divided into groups according to their material of manufacture:
- High-strength fasteners - nuts made of steel of strength class 8 and above
- Stainless fasteners - nuts made of stainless steel.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 982 nuts
DIN 982 is manufactured in the following materials:
- Steel, which can optionally be coated with galvanized and plain (white) zinc.
- Stainless steel (A2, A4) does not need to be coated.
