Flat head cross slot barrel nut

Cold heading process is one of the new processes for pressure machining of less or no cutting
metal. It is a processing method that utilizes the plastic deformation of metal under the action of
external forces, and with the aid of molds, redistributes and transfers the volume of metal to form
the required parts or blanks. The cold heading process is most suitable for producing standard
fasteners such as bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and pins.etc

Flat Head Cross Recessed Barrel Nuts are specialized fasteners designed for secure, low-profile connections in various applications. Here’s a detailed description:

Features:

1. Head Type:

   • Flat Head (Countersunk): Allows the nut to sit flush with the surface when installed, providing a smooth finish.

   • Flat head cross slot barrel nut

2. Drive Type:

   • Cross Recess (Phillips or Pozidriv): Features a cruciform slot for driving with a compatible screwdriver or power tool.

3. Shape:

   • Barrel (Cylindrical) Design: Tubular body with internal threads, often used in confined spaces or for anchoring into panels.

4. Material:

   • Typically made from steel, stainless steel, or brass, with optional coatings (zinc plating, black oxide) for corrosion resistance.

5. Thread Type:

   • Internal threading matches standard screw/bolt sizes (e.g., M4, M6, or imperial measurements).

Applications:

• Used in furniture assembly, automotive panels, electronics, and sheet metal work.

• Flat head cross slot barrel nut

• Ideal for thin materials where a flush surface is required.

• Common in DIY projects, machinery, and aerospace for lightweight fastening.

Advantages:

• Low-profile design avoids protrusions.

• Secure grip due to cross-recessed drive.

• Easy installation in pre-drilled or threaded holes.

• Flat head cross slot barrel nut

Variants:

• May include knurled exteriors for better grip in soft materials.

• Some feature self-locking threads to prevent loosening under vibration.
