RackGold® Black 12-24 Cage Nuts 100 Pack – USA Made

Description

Product Overview

RackGold’s Black 12-24 Cage Nuts are engineered for demanding applications where strength, reliability, and corrosion resistance are non‑negotiable. Each nut is forged from hardened alloy steel, then treated with a black oxide coating that not only gives a sleek, professional appearance but also adds an extra layer of protection against moisture and chemicals. The square shape and fully threaded design conform to Unified National Thread standards, ensuring a perfect fit in standard cage assemblies. With a right‑hand thread and coarse class, installation is quick and secure, reducing the risk of slippage under load. The pack contains 100 pieces, each measuring 12‑24 threads per inch, and the nuts are sized to accept M6 metric inserts, making them versatile for both inch and metric projects. At 15.2 ounces total weight, the nuts are lightweight enough for bulk handling yet robust enough to withstand high‑torque environments. The product dimensions of 6 × 4 × 1 inches make storage and organization simple, while the black oxide finish with wax adds durability for long‑term use in industrial, automotive, and DIY settings.

Usage

These cage nuts excel in a wide range of scenarios. In industrial machinery, they secure motor mounts, gearboxes, and control panels where vibration and temperature fluctuations are common. Their hardened steel construction resists deformation, ensuring that fasteners remain tight even after repeated cycles of assembly and disassembly. In automotive repair shops, technicians rely on the black oxide finish to prevent rust when working on brake systems, suspension components, and engine brackets. The snap‑in design allows for rapid installation in pre‑drilled cage plates, saving valuable time on the shop floor. For hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts, the nuts are ideal for building custom racks, workbenches, and storage solutions. Their compatibility with both inch and metric threads means they can be used on a variety of equipment, from 3D printers to home workshop projects. Because the nuts are fully threaded, they can accommodate a range of bolt lengths, providing flexibility for different load requirements.

FAQ

What thread sizes do these cage nuts support?

The RackGold cage nuts are sized for a #12‑24 Unified National Thread, which corresponds to an M6 metric insert. This dual compatibility makes them suitable for a wide range of fasteners used in both imperial and metric systems.

Are the nuts compatible with standard cage plates?

Yes, the square shape and fully threaded design conform to industry‑standard cage plate dimensions, allowing them to snap into pre‑drilled cages without modification. They work with most aluminum and steel cage plates commonly found in equipment racks and frames.

How does the black oxide coating protect the nuts?

The black oxide coating is a chemical conversion layer that creates a thin, protective film on the steel surface. Combined with a wax sealant, it resists moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure, significantly reducing the risk of rust and extending the service life of the nuts.

What is covered by the lifetime warranty?

The lifetime warranty covers any manufacturing defects in material or workmanship. If a nut fails due to a defect, RackGold will replace the affected items at no cost to the customer, provided the product is used according to its intended purpose.

Can I use these nuts for high‑torque applications?

Absolutely. The hardened alloy steel and fully threaded design are engineered to handle high torque loads without stripping or deforming. They are ideal for applications such as motor mounts, heavy equipment frames, and structural assemblies where secure fastening is critical.
