Caged Nuts

Caged Nuts – Klip-it Metric Fastening Solutions

What is a Cage Nut?

A cage nut is a core component in metric fastening systems, ideal for mechanical and structural assemblies.
It consists of a metal or plastic cage (available in technical POM, steel, or galvanised steel) that holds a threaded M5, M6, or M8 nut with external tabs to ensure a secure grip in the panel.

How to use a Cage Nut?

The Klip-it M6 cage nut is inserted into a pre-drilled square hole and locks in place with a simple ¼-turn — no special tools required.
A standard screwdriver, hex key, or power driver is sufficient for installation.

When paired with an M6 screw and flat washer, the cage nut forms a complete fastening solution that is safe, vibration-resistant, and durable.
It guarantees high torque resistance and precise, secure assemblies, even under strong mechanical stress.

What are our Caged Nuts’ advantages?

1. Versatility & Material Strength

Klip-it caged nuts are available in technical plastic (POM), steel, and galvanised steel to match your application needs.
They offer:

• Excellent corrosion resistance (up to 720 hours in salt spray tests, depending on model)
• High mechanical strength for industrial use
• Full compliance with metric fastener standards (M5, M6, M8)
• Perfect compatibility with standard screws, bolts, and washers

2. Self-Locking System & High Torque Resistance

The ¼-turn self-locking design of the Klip-it M6 cage nut ensures:

• Stable and vibration-resistant fastening
• No accidental loosening during operation
• Tool-free installation, reducing assembly time and cost
• High torque resistance, ideal for demanding environments

3. Aesthetic Finish & Reusability

The Klip-it cage nut delivers a clean, professional appearance — only the screw head remains visible.
It’s also fully reusable: simply unscrew and reposition the nut on another structure or panel.

Applications of Klip-it Cage Nuts

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.
