A cage nut or caged nut (also called a captive or clip nut) consists of a (usually square) nut in a spring steel cage which wraps around the nut. The cage has two wings that when compressed allow the cage to be inserted into the square holes, for example, in the mounting rails of equipment racks. When the wings are released, they hold the nut in position behind the hole.

Nuts are mainly used in automobile manufacturing, agricultural machinery, electrical engineering, construction machinery and other fields.

HOW DO CAGE NUTS WORK?

A Cage Nut is what it sounds like – a nut in a cage. It’s a multi-threaded steel nut that “floats” in a spring steel cage to offset normal holes misalignment. The “mechanical” hands on the Cage Nut hold the bolt in the receiving position so that the fastener cannot turn when the applied bolt is tightened.

Cage Nuts, also called Captive Nuts and Server Rack Nuts are ideal for applications requiring extra-high torque and holding power.

They are self-retaining and can easily be snapped into nut or bolt receiving positions by hand, anywhere along the assembly line. No welding, clinching, staking, special skills or equipment are required. Cage Nuts are rust proof, and can be applied after painting which eliminates costly masking or re-tapping paint-clogged threads.

Cage Nut Benefits

Convenient – can be applied at any spot in the assembly line.

Self-retaining – holds itself in place eliminating welds, clinch fasteners.

Vibration proof – strong grip withstands movement, dislodging.
