Flat head plum barrel nut

Caraterísticas principais:
    • Flat Head: The top surface is flat or slightly countersunk, allowing it to sit flush with or below the material surface when installed.

    • Plum/Barrel Body: The nut has a rounded, barrel-like (or pear-shaped) body with internal threads.

    • Slotted or Hex Drive: Many flat head barrel nuts have a slotted drive (for screwdriver installation) or a hex socket (for Allen/hex key tightening).

O processo de encabeçamento a frio é um dos novos processos para a maquinagem sob pressão com menos ou nenhum corte
metal. É um método de processamento que utiliza a deformação plástica do metal sob a ação de
forças externas e, com a ajuda de moldes, redistribui e transfere o volume de metal para formar
as peças ou os espaços em branco necessários. O processo de encabeçamento a frio é o mais adequado para a produção de
elementos de fixação, tais como cavilhas, parafusos, porcas, rebites, cavilhas, etc.

flat head plum porca de barril (também conhecido como porca de barril ou pear-shaped nut) is a specialized type of fastener designed for specific applications where a low-profile, secure, and often concealed connection is needed. Here’s a detailed description:
