Our acorn nuts are manufactured in accordance with international standards (such as DIN 1587 for acorn nuts), ensuring consistent dimensions, reliable performance, and interchangeability. -
Versatility:
Available in a wide range of sizes—from smaller diameters (such as #6 or M6) to larger sizes (up to 1/2″ or M12) and offered in both coarse and fine thread pitches—acorn nuts suit a variety of applications.
