Brass Nuts to DIN / ISO · Jamnagar, India

DIN 557 Brass Square Nut

Square nut (four-sided) — machined in brass CW614N to standard and to your drawing.

Home / Products / Standard Parts / Brass Nuts / DIN 557

A DIN 557 nut is a four-sided (square) nut whose flat sides give a larger bearing surface and let it seat against an edge or channel to resist rotation while tightening; it has no current ISO equivalent. Brassland machines it from free-cutting brass CW614N (CuZn39Pb3) — or lead-free CW724R — to the standard and to your drawing, as part of our brass nut programme.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a square nut instead of a hex nut?

The four flat sides give more bearing contact and seat against an edge or in a channel, resisting rotation while you tighten — useful in T-slots, struts and timber.

What is the across-corners (e) of a DIN 557 nut?

The diagonal is about s×1.414 — e.g. 24.0 mm at M10 (s = 17 mm). See the datasheet for all sizes.

Is there an ISO equivalent to DIN 557?

No — ISO did not adopt a metric square nut, so DIN 557 remains the governing standard.

What sizes are DIN 557 square nuts made in?

The standard range is M5–M16 for the dimensions shown; larger sizes are available to order.
