The Plastic Wing Nut is an innovative, tool-free fastener crafted meticulously via the injection molding process using premium engineering plastics. Designed with precision, its core logic employs wing-shaped handles that allow effortless manual tightening and disassembly. This elegant design is perfect for scenarios requiring light load handling, non-metallic contact, and swift maintenance, all thanks to its lightweight nature, excellent insulation, and superb corrosion resistance. Our detailed analysis unfolds across six key dimensions: structure, performance, application, selection, advantages and disadvantages, and future trends:
------
1. Core Structure
Wing-Shaped Handle:
• Shape: Featuring a double-wing symmetrical design reminiscent of graceful butterfly wings, each wing spans 10-25mm with a robust thickness of 2-4mm. This configuration provides a substantial torque lever effect, enabling manual torque to reach between 0.5-1.5N · m.
Surface Treatment: Enhanced with roll patterns and anti-slip protrusions, ensuring a firm grip and preventing any slipping of hands.
• Threaded Body:
Thread Type: Available in standard metric or imperial sizes, such as M6 or 1/4-20 UNC, engineered to precision 6g level, the universal standard.
Thread Length: Ranges from 8-30mm, customizable to suit diverse application scenarios.
• Neck Transition:
• Diameter: Designed 0.5-1mm smaller than the thread's larger diameter to ensure no interference between the handle and the substrate.
• Strength: Fortified with a thickened neck design (wall thickness ≥ 1.5mm) to prevent breakage during tightening.
2. Materials and Craftsmanship
• Substrate Selection:
PA66+GF30%: Offers high strength (tensile strength ≥ 80MPa) and excellent temperature resistance (-40 ºC to 120 ºC), making it ideal for outdoor equipment.
POM (Saigang): Known for its self-lubricating properties (friction coefficient 0.15-0.25) and low water absorption (0.2%), it's perfect for precision instruments.
PP (Polypropylene): Cost-effective, being approximately 40% cheaper than PA66, food-grade certified, suitable for household appliances.
• Molding Process:
Injection Molding: Achieving flawless one-time molding with tight tolerance control (± 0.1mm), ensuring seamless integration between thread and handle.
• Secondary Processing: Certain high-end models feature ultrasonic welding of metal inserts, such as stainless steel threaded sleeves, to bolster wear resistance.
