From Composite to Sheet: Why Jack Nuts Outperform

As lightweight materials, composites, and thin metal sheets become standard in many industries, traditional bolts and nuts
increasingly struggle: lack of rear support, small bearing area, or material cracking are common issues.
Jack Nut offer a modern solution: engineered with internal slots, the jack nut’s body collapses or expands into four legs behind the substrate as the screw tightens—creating a secure grip from one side only.

Key benefits of Jack Nut include:

  • No damage to thin sheets/composites: avoids distortion, cracking, or warping during installation

  • Blind-side installation: fastening from one side only, no rear access needed 

  • Wide material compatibility: suitable for plastics, fiber-reinforced composites, thin metals, etc. 

  • Fast installation & cost-effective: ideal for mass production or maintenance applications

Whether in automotive body panels, aerospace composite parts, computer enclosures, or electronic housings, choosing a Jack Nut means balancing “lightweight” and “robust”—giving you more freedom and reliability in both design and manufacture.
