Cage Nuts
Cage Nuts or Captive Nuts are self-retaining fasteners that are ideal for rack & equipment mounting applications. They are the perfect combination of a spring steel fastener and a high-strength multi-threaded nut. Easy to install, Captive Nuts snap into bolt-receiving position at panel edges or centered-panel locations.
Cage Nuts have spring-steel “mechanical hands” or wings that keep the nut stationary in a square hole which helps with bolt insertion. As the Cage Nut is pressed to locked position, the mounting legs expand around the panel and force past the retainer spring tabs which snap back to lock the fastener firmly in place. They can be applied at any convenient spot along the assembly line.
