T-Nuts

T-nuts are universally suitable for all manner of applications and are simple to swap out. These elements are used in tool and jig making as well as in machine building.

Ganter Standard Parts offers a comprehensive selection of T-nuts in various types and versions. A detailed overview of the various versions and their specific properties can be found here. This wide selection ensures that the right solution is available for every application.

Ganter offers T-nuts according to the most common DIN standards.
The width of the slot must be differentiated from the thread sizes.

The slot width refers to the width of the slot that is cut into a workpiece.

For some products, T-nuts are available in different materials.
Alongside steel, we also offer T-nuts of stainless steel.

T-nuts of steel are a robust and long-lasting solution for connections of wood, metal or plastic. They are easy to install, ensure a strong, reliable connection and are very cost-effective compared with stainless steel T-nuts.

Stainless steel T-nuts are more expensive than steel or aluminum T-nuts but also less susceptible to corrosion.

T-nuts, also known as T-slot nuts, are versatile fastening elements used in diverse applications and industries.
Here are a number of typical uses:

1. Machine building and machine tools:
   - In mills, lathes, drilling machines and other machine tools, T-nuts are used in T-slots for fastening workpieces or jigs.
   - They enable flexible and precise positioning and fastening of clamping mechanisms and other tools on machine tables.
    
2. Profile constructions:
   - In aluminum profiles, as used in modular construction systems (e.g. Bosch-Rexroth, ITEM), T-nuts serve for connecting and fastening profiles and accessories.
   - They are often used in industrial frame construction, machine enclosures, workstations and conveyor systems.
    
3. Assembly systems:
   - In various assembly systems, such as in the automotive industry or for the manufacture of electronic devices, T-nuts are used to adjust assembly jigs flexibly and quickly.
    
4. Photovoltaic and solar systems:
   - T-nuts are used for mounting solar panels on support systems, especially in aluminum profile rails.
   - They enable simple and secure fastening of the panels.
    
5. Fair booth and exhibit construction:
   - In modular exhibition systems and trade fair booths, T-nuts are used to fasten various elements, such as stands, brackets and panels.
    
6. Automation technology:
   - In automation systems and machines, T-nuts are used for fastening sensors, actuators and other components to rail or profile structures.

T-nuts offer the advantage of high flexibility and easy adjustability, which is highly valued in many industrial and technical applications.
