DIN 314 Wing Nuts

DIN 314 Wing Nuts are metric wing nuts with an edged wing configuration specified by DIN 314. The extended wings allow the nut to be tightened and loosened by hand without a conventional wrench, making them useful where fastening points require frequent adjustment or removal. The product is also commonly described as an edged-wing or American-form wing nut in industrial fastener markets.

These wing nuts are used on threaded studs, bolts, and machine components where tool-free adjustment is preferred. Typical applications include machinery, equipment enclosures, fixtures, electrical equipment, laboratory equipment, workshop assemblies, and general mechanical components. They are particularly practical for covers, guards, brackets, clamps, and other components that need to be opened or repositioned during operation or maintenance.

DIN 314 establishes the product geometry and dimensional requirements for the edged-wing configuration. Material and surface finish can vary according to the required application, with carbon steel and stainless steel versions commonly available in the market. For distributors, OEM buyers, and industrial purchasing teams, the DIN designation helps identify the required wing-nut form and metric thread configuration. Standard sizes can be supplied for general industrial procurement, while material, finish, and other requirements can be specified according to the application.
