Caged Nuts
How to use Cage Nuts?
The cage nut is a fundamental component in metric fastening systems, ideal for all types of mechanical and structural assemblies.
It consists of a metal or plastic cage (available in technical plastic POM, steel, or galvanised steel) that holds an M5-M6 or M8 nut with external tabs ensuring a secure grip in the panel.
The M6 cage nut is inserted into a pre-drilled square hole and locked in place with a simple quarter-turn.
Its self-locking system requires no special tools — a standard screwdriver, hex key, or power driver is sufficient.
When used with an M6 screw and flat washer, the cage nut forms a complete fastening solution that is safe, durable, and vibration-resistant.
It provides high torque resistance, guaranteeing secure, precise, and efficient assemblies, even in applications subject to high mechanical stress.
What are our Caged Nuts’ advantages?
Versatility and Material Strength
Our cage nuts are available in technical plastic (POM), steel, and galvanised steel versions.
Depending on your needs, they offer:
- Corrosion resistance (up to 720 hours in salt spray tests, depending on model)
- High mechanical strength for industrial applications
Compliant with metric fastener standards (M5, M6), they integrate seamlessly with your screws, bolts, and flat washers for precise and long-lasting assemblies.
Self-Locking System & High Torque Resistance
The self-locking mechanism of the M6 cage nut ensures stable fixing and prevents accidental loosening.
Its high torque resistance allows secure and durable mounting, even in demanding industrial environments.
Installation takes just a ¼-turn without tools, reducing assembly time and production costs.
Aesthetic Finish & Reusability
The M6 cage nut delivers a clean and professional finish, leaving only the screw head visible (flat, round, or countersunk).
It is also reusable — simply unscrew the bolt to reposition the nut on another support or structure.
What are Cage Nuts used for?
M6 cage nuts are widely used across a range of industrial and technical sectors, including:
- Metal Construction – Secure assembly of galvanised steel elements.
- Electronics & Electrical Engineering – Mounting components or enclosures where rear access is limited.
- Workshop Furniture – Fixing shelves, panels, tool racks, and modular storage systems.
- Utility Vehicle Fitting – Installing rails, supports, and interior accessories for professional vehicles.
- IT & Data Centres – Standard M6 rack nuts for 19-inch server cabinets and network racks.
- Manufacturing Industry – Assembly of machines, panels, and equipment requiring quick, strong, and torque-resistant fixings.
