Push-Nuts

Sometimes an OEM will give out a hundred samples if you show that you will be using their product on the production BOM.

Tried that, didn't work.

Thanks anyway.

OK! I'll bite. What are "push nuts" ?

Those little round things you push onto a shaft and can never get them back off, when you want. If they have a cap, there are called Hat-Nuts.

Oh, now I get it! Sort of like very cheap, very poor, retaining rings without the machined groove. Thanks. I don't want any.

That's exactly what they are. I'll buy the 5000, before I start maching retainer groves, in .062 316 stainless.

Where would you like me to send the 4900 I don't need. :-).

Mcmaster Carr has a nice selection on page 3008 of #110 catalog. I think you want 94807A015 $3.70 for a package of 200.

Try this link.

They aren't stainless.

They do have stainless grooveless retainers, on the same page. But they only go as small as 3/32. I've already increased the diameter from .045, because I couldn't find any retainers.

Thanks,

I have looked at them, no info, just pictures. They have to quote everything. I'll call them monday, they probably won't talk to me because I'm not going spend $1,000,000.

Thanks,

You better keep some of them. You'll probably need replacements.

Acorn nuts ? Seems to me. Martin

I'd like to thank all that responded to mt quest for push nuts. I have a few places to try, but will probably end up buying the 5000.

If anyone needs .062 ID stainless push-nuts, let me know, I'll have plenty.

Again, thanks for the help.
