Product Name: GB6171 Type A Class 1 Hexagonal Nut
Implementation Standard: GB/T 6171-2016 (current latest version)
Specification Range: Thread size: M1.6~M16 (Class A precision is mainly applicable to thread diameters ≤16mm; larger diameters are generally Class B).
II. Structural and Precision Features
Structural Type: Type 1 hexagonal nut (standard hexagonal structure, no special grooves or through-hole designs). Key dimensions such as across flats width (s) and thickness (m) are strictly implemented in accordance with standards.
Precision Grade: Class A represents high precision, with a thread tolerance of 6H. Dimensional tolerances for across flats width, thickness, etc., are smaller (superior to Class B), and the surface roughness is lower (usually Ra≤3.2μm), making it suitable for precision connection scenarios.
III. Materials and Performance
Material Selection: Materials are matched according to performance grades, usually including:
Carbon steel: such as 35# steel, 45# steel (suitable for performance grades 6, 8, etc.), subjected to quenched and tempered heat treatment;
Building steel structures (matching high-precision bolts).
VI. Quality Control
Dimensional inspection: Verify across flats width, thickness, and thread precision through 2D measuring instruments and thread go/no-go gauges (6H);
Performance testing: Check hardness with hardness testers and verify load with tensile testing machines;
Visual inspection: No cracks, burrs, or rust, and surface roughness meets Class A requirements.
GB6171 Type A nuts ensure interchangeability and reliability through standardized production, serving as common fasteners for high-precision threaded connections in the industrial field.
