The innovative Plastic Wing Nut is a remarkable tool-free fastener crafted meticulously through the state-of-the-art injection molding process, with engineering plastics forming its strong substrate. The brilliance of its core design lies in its wing-shaped handles that allow effortless manual tightening and disassembly. Designed to meet the demands of light load applications, it thrives in environments requiring non-metallic contact and swift maintenance, thanks to the lightweight, insulating, and corrosion-resistant properties of plastic. Below, we explore its features through six key dimensions: structure, performance, application, selection, advantages and disadvantages, and trends:
------
1. Core Structure
Wing-Shaped Handle:
• Shape: Exhibiting a stunning double wing symmetrical design reminiscent of butterfly wings, each single wing spans a length of 10-25mm with a thickness of 2-4mm, providing a powerful torque lever effect (enabling manual torque of 0.5-1.5N · m).
Surface Treatment: Enhanced with roll patterns and anti-slip protrusions to ensure a firm grip without slipping.
• Threaded Body:
Thread Type: Available in standard metric or imperial types (e.g., M6, 1/4-20 UNC), precision-crafted to a 6g level for universal applications.
Thread Length: Ranges from 8-30mm, tailored to meet diverse application scenarios.
• Neck Transition:
• Diameter: Typically 0.5-1mm smaller than the thread's larger diameter to ensure no interference between the handle and substrate.
• Strength: Features a fortified thickened neck design (wall thickness ≥ 1.5mm) to prevent breakage during tightening.
2. Materials and Craftsmanship
• Substrate Selection:
PA66+GF30%: Boasts high strength (tensile strength ≥ 80MPa) and temperature resistance (-40 ºC~120 ºC), making it ideal for outdoor equipment.
POM (Saigang): Offers self-lubrication (friction coefficient 0.15-0.25) and low water absorption (0.2%), perfect for precision instruments.
PP (Polypropylene): Cost-effective (around 40% cheaper than PA66) and food grade certified, perfect for household appliances.
• Molding Process:
Injection Molding: Achieves seamless one-time molding with precise tolerance control of ± 0.1mm, ensuring no seam between thread and handle.
• Secondary Processing: Certain premium models feature ultrasonic welding with metal inserts (e.g., stainless steel threaded sleeves) to boost wear resistance.
