Anixter Components (formerly Heyco) has launched a new range of steel Cage Nuts. This addition to the company’s extensive fastener offering is ideal for a wide range of panel building applications. The Cage Nuts snap into square holes readily and do not require special tools for assembly, allowing OEMs and panel builders to save valuable time during installation, and associated costs.

The Cage Nuts are available to fit in two standard square hole sizes – 9.5mm and 12.8mm – and are reliable to fix screws with thread size M4 to M10 in light and heavy duty applications. They combine the versatility of spring steel fasteners with the high strength of a multi-threaded nut suitable for many applications in 19-inch racks, shelving and networking hardware, to heavier equipment such as uninterruptible power supplies.

The Cage Nut is a 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 easily into the square holes in equipment racks. When released, they hold the nut in position behind the hole. The nut floats in the cage to offset normal hole misalignment.

“The Cage Nuts are simple and rapid to install,” says Andrew Fletcher, Technical Director, Anixter Components. “OEMs can save time during installation as there is no need to rivet or weld in place. We constantly look to source fasteners which enable us to supply designers and customers with ideal products for their needs. Whatever the application, I am confident we have a suitable solution.”

The Cage Nuts compliment Anixter Components’ popular range of NY-Cage Nuts and Turn-In Cage Nuts. For more information about the company’s full range of fasteners and to buy online visit www.anixtercomponents.com.
