A Square Nut is a type of fastener used in drag conveyors. It is designed to secure components together by threading them onto a roller support. This shape provides several benefits, including increased stability and resistance to rotation compared to regular hexagonal nuts. It is seen in a drag and auger conveyor, to secure roller support in the drag conveyor system together. The square shape of the nut can prevent it from rotating unintentionally, which is especially important in applications where vibrations or movement are common, such as in a conveyor system.

Attributes:
• Prevents unintended rotation and provides stability in the assembly
• Offers strength and resistance to wear, suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications
• Maintains component integrity and stability during material transport
• Design provides a larger contact area with the components it secures, distributing the load more evenly

Application:
This Square Nut is used in conveyors to securely fasten the roller support of the conveyor, preventing unwanted rotation and ensuring stability during bulk material transportation.
