This left-hand hex nut is machined from free-cutting steel and manufactured to DIN 934 standards. It features a metric fine thread (MF) with a left-hand thread direction (LH), primarily used on components that rotate clockwise to prevent loosening during operation. The material is bright steel with no coating or surface treatment, which means it offers little inherent resistance to corrosion. Please note: Class |6| nuts are rated according to DIN 267-4 and have a lower load capacity than Class 6 nuts rated to ISO 898-2. Mechanical overloading can cause the threads of the nut or bolt to strip.
