Materials & strength
Knurled finger grip
The knurled head lets the nut be tightened and released by hand, suiting fixings that are adjusted frequently without tools.
Steel, stainless & brass
Zinc plated steel covers general indoor duties, stainless covers damp or corrosive conditions, and brass suits decorative and corrosion-sensitive work.
What is a DIN 466 thumb nut?
DIN 466 covers high-type knurled thumb nuts, designed to be tightened and released by hand. The tall knurled head gives a solid finger grip for fixings that are adjusted regularly.
Where are knurled thumb nuts used?
On guards, covers, jigs, fixtures and instruments - anywhere a connection is made and unmade often and tool-free access matters. Tightening is by hand, so the clamping force is what fingers can apply.
What is the difference between DIN 466 and DIN 467?
DIN 466 is the high type with a taller knurled head, giving more grip surface for the fingers; DIN 467 is the low, flatter pattern for restricted spaces. Function is otherwise the same.
What materials are DIN 466 thumb nuts available in?
DIN 466 thumb nuts are available in zinc plated steel, stainless steel and brass across a wide range of metric sizes. Brass and stainless suit corrosive or decorative applications.
