(400) Cross Dowels/Barrel Nuts – 1/4-20 12mm X 10mm Zinc-Plated CNC

Description

Product Overview

The SuperDealStuff Cross Dowels Barrel Nuts are precision‑engineered fasteners designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and scientific applications. Each nut features a 1/4‑20 thread size, a 12mm (approximately .472 inch) length, and a 10mm (approximately .394 inch) diameter, providing a balanced profile that fits a wide range of components. Constructed from high‑grade steel and coated with a zinc‑plated finish, these nuts deliver superior corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term reliability even in harsh environments. The slotted design allows for easy installation with standard tools, while the centered 6mm hole facilitates smooth insertion of dowels or pins. Packaged in a bulk quantity of 400 pieces, this product offers both convenience and cost‑effectiveness for large‑scale projects, maintenance programs, and repeat‑order customers.

Usage

These barrel nuts excel in a variety of settings where secure, repeatable fastening is essential. They are commonly used in machinery assembly, equipment repair, and prototype development within the industrial and scientific sectors. The 1/4‑20 thread matches standard dowel sizes, making them ideal for securing shafts, rods, and other rotating components. Their zinc‑plated steel construction provides protection against moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, allowing them to perform reliably in outdoor installations, manufacturing plants, and laboratory equipment. Whether you are building a custom fixture, maintaining a production line, or outfitting a research apparatus, the Cross Dowels Barrel Nuts deliver consistent torque and alignment, reducing downtime and improving overall system stability.

FAQ

What material is the barrel nut made from?

The barrel nut is fabricated from high‑strength steel and then zinc‑plated to protect against corrosion and wear.

Can these nuts be used with non‑metallic dowels?

Yes, the centered 6mm hole accommodates a variety of dowel materials, including plastic, aluminum, and composite rods, as long as the dowel matches the 1/4‑20 thread specification.

Is the zinc plating suitable for outdoor applications?

The zinc‑plated finish provides excellent resistance to moisture and mild chemicals, making the nuts suitable for outdoor installations and environments with occasional exposure to the elements.

How do I ensure the correct torque when installing?

We recommend using a calibrated torque wrench set to the manufacturer’s recommended torque range for 1/4‑20 steel fasteners, typically between 5‑7 ft‑lb, to achieve optimal clamping force without over‑tightening.

What is the lead time for bulk orders?

Standard inventory is shipped within 2‑3 business days. For larger custom orders, lead times may vary, and our sales team will provide a precise delivery schedule based on quantity and destination.
