I'm only familiar with "JAM" nuts and "CASTLE" nuts. I see "WING" nuts come
in Left and Right hand thread.

Castle nut vs. slotted nut: anyone know of the application where a
castle nut would be preferred? It seems harder to make without any
advantage.

Thanks,

You get a little more cotter pin clearance, with a castle nut.
I've seen both used in front wheel bearings.
They also used a lot with safety wire.

The castle style gives you a bit of space for the folder over
legs of the cotter pin to live in, and for the head to live in as well,
so if the nut is in a tight space where there is relative rotation
(either the shaft/nut rottes or the housing does), this allows it to
happen without needing to make more space in the housing.

Also -- with the legs tucked in, they are less likely to hook on
clothing or skin of those working near the assembly.

Enjoy,
DoN.

It's really irritating. You reach in the box and get a nut, work it
into a very tight place and try to start the threads only rto find that
it won't. You work it back out, and see that it was never tapped.

Or grab a bolt only to discover that those neatly spaced grooves are
exactly ninety degrees to the axis of the shaft.

You install those with a New York Screwdriver (hammer)

Naw, you give it back to the storekeeper of the shop from who
youscrounged it in the first place so that he can blackmail the
suppliers agent into a coupla "freeby" boxes so you can continue to
scrounge for personal use.

While we're on this thread, I just got a load of linear bearings and

Did the 7x57s have any powder (left)? Were they supposed to
have Berdan primers, so there would be smaller holes for the powder to
leak out of? :-)
