Tuerca de barril

El proceso de estampado en frío es uno de los nuevos procesos de mecanizado a presión de menor o ningún corte
Se trata de un método de transformación que utiliza la deformación plástica del metal bajo la acción de los agentes atmosféricos.
fuerzas externas y, con ayuda de moldes, redistribuye y transfiere el volumen de metal para formar
las piezas o formatos necesarios. El proceso de estampación en frío es el más adecuado para producir piezas estándar.

A barril tuerca (también conocido como cross dowel, spine nut, or puesto vinculante) is a fastening component designed to provide strong and secure joints in various applications, including furniture, aerospace, automotive, and mechanical assemblies. It consists of a short, cylindrical metal body with an internally threaded hole, allowing it to receive a bolt or screw.

1. Design and Features

• Shape: Cylindrical or slightly elongated, sometimes with flanges or slots for improved grip.
• Internal Threading: The hole inside the barrel nut is threaded to accommodate a bolt or machine screw.
• Material: Typically made from steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, or titanium, depending on the strength and corrosion resistance required.
• Size Variations: Comes in different diameters, thread sizes, and lengths to fit specific applications.
• Orientation: The internal threading is usually perpendicular to the length of the barrel, but some designs allow parallel alignment.

2. Types of Barrel Nuts

(A) Based on Shape and Structure:

1. Standard Barrel Nut: A simple cylindrical body with internal threading, used in furniture and general fastenings.
2. Cross Dowel (Perpendicular Barrel Nut): The bolt passes perpendicular to the nut, commonly found in furniture joints.
3. Flanged Barrel Nut: Has an extended flange at one end for better load distribution and stability.
4. Slotted Barrel Nut: Includes a slot or screwdriver groove for easy tightening and alignment.
5. Binding Post (Chicago Screws): Consists of a male and female part, often used in bookbinding and leather products.
