The Advanced Compensation Nut (ACN) provides an efficient and economical solution to any gap and tolerance issues that may have your assembly efficiency pinned down. Simply snap the ACN in place, insert the bolt and as it gets tightened, the system auto adjusts to bridge the gap between components to produce a stronger, more durable assembly.

Blind assembly costs are cut in half with these Front Mounting Cage Nuts. They are quickly tipped into the mounting hole from the front side and drifted into locked position behind the panel with a simple awl-like tool. Two wing-like spring legs at either side of the captive cage nut provide spring tension to hold it in bolt-receiving position and allow slight lateral movement to compensate for normal build variations. A shallow emboss allows flush mounting of mating panels.

These Front Mounting Cage Nuts, also known as "Front Mounting Nut Retainers" are fitted from the front of the substrate at the time of final assembly. They are easy to install and can be dismantled. Applications include assemblies on closed boxes, chassis members and tubular profiles. Cage and nut are spring steel or stainless steel, and are available in varying finishes.
