FAQs
The HYTORC Gall-Free Nut is designed to eliminate thread failure and seizing in bolted joints. It allows for the safe removal and reuse of bolted joints without damaging the joint surface. Galled bolt threads, a common issue caused by high friction and temperatures, can make fasteners non-reusable and joint disassembly challenging.
The HYTORC Gall-Free Nut employs a patent-pending design geometry and unique material conditioning to eliminate galling, even on fine high-alloy threads operating at elevated loads and temperatures. This is achieved without the need for lubricants or anti-seize. The coated thread design prevents microscopic material corrosion caused by high temperatures and increased friction, countering the galling effect.
The HYTORC Gall-Free Nut offers anti-galling performance in standard hex nut geometry for all common hex sizes. Additionally, it can be customized to accommodate non-standard application constraints, providing flexibility in various bolted joint scenarios.
The two-part design consists of interlocking inner and outer sleeves with tapered threads, integrating advanced anti-galling properties. This design is compatible with standard bolt threads and enhances the performance of the nut in preventing galling.
The HYTORC Gall-Free Nut is installed with the load bearing surface facing the flange. The top-side indicator ring helps ensure proper installation, contributing to the effectiveness of the nut in preventing galling.
Yes, the HYTORC Gall-Free Nut can be customized for non-standard application constraints. This allows it to be tailored to specific bolted joint scenarios, providing versatility in addressing galling issues.
