All About Cage Nuts
A cage nut is a square shaped nut in a spring cage that is wrapped around the actual nut. The cage that wraps around the nut is made of steel. Cage nuts are used for the mounting of equipment. These nuts come in a variety of different sizes from 10/32 to 12/24, which can be fitted to many standard sized racks.
The way that a cage nut operates is that it has two sides that when squeezed will permit the forged steel cage to be placed into a square hole in an equipment rack. Once the cage nut its cage have been let loose the cage nut will be able to hold the rack.
Like we have discussed before, a cage nut is a square shaped nut in a spring cage that is wrapped around the actual nut. These nuts are used for the mounting of equipment. A cage nut can be installed by using a flathead screwdriver, which can often be a hassle. A cage nut can also be installed by using a more convenient tool known as a cage nut tool (easy enough).
A cage nut tool is a tool that almost resembles a pair of nail or toenail clippers. This insertion tool, which is used for 10mm cage nut bodies, is a time saving mechanism in itself. The tool can help to install cage nuts into cabinets of racks. The tool features a rubber grip on its top so that it won’t slip out of the hand
