A castle nut is a type of hexagonal nut with a hole on one or both ends, designed to be used with a cotter pin to prevent it from loosening under vibration or torque. Typically made of steel or other durable materials, castle nuts are commonly used in automotive, machinery, and structural applications where securing a bolt or shaft is essential. The cotter pin fits through the holes in the nut and the bolt, ensuring the nut stays in place.
Castle nuts provide enhanced security by preventing loosening through a cotter pin, ensuring stable connections. They also offer easy maintenance and reinstallation, making them convenient for mechani
Research on castle nuts focuses on improving materials for better strength and corrosion resistance, enhancing their durability in harsh environments. Studies also explore design optimizations to impr
