1. Introduction to ISO 4035 Hexagon Thin Nuts
ISO 4035 Hexagon Thin Nuts are fine-pitch threaded jam nuts designed for applications requiring:
- Precise axial positioning
- Improved resistance to loosening
- Controlled preload
- Reduced vibration effects
These nuts are similar in form to ISO 4033 but differ critically in thread pitch, making them ideal for high-precision assemblies.
At Super Industries India, ISO 4035 thin nuts are manufactured for OEMs, EPC contractors, machinery builders, and export markets, meeting stringent dimensional and mechanical standards.
2. What Is ISO 4035?
ISO 4035 specifies:
- Metric hexagon thin nuts
- Style 1
- Metric fine pitch threads
- Reduced height (jam nut configuration)
DIN Equivalent:
👉 DIN 439 A
ISO 4035 is the international replacement for DIN 439 A.
3. Purpose of Fine-Pitch Thin Nuts
Fine-pitch ISO 4035 nuts are used when:
✔ Higher thread engagement per length is needed
✔ More precise tightening control is required
✔ Vibrations must be minimized
✔ Adjustment accuracy is critical
Compared to coarse threads, fine threads provide:
- Higher resistance to loosening
- Better tensile stress distribution
- Improved preload accuracy

4. ISO 4035 vs ISO 4033
| Feature | ISO 4033 | ISO 4035 |
|---|---|---|
| Thread type | Coarse | Fine |
| Locking ability | Good | Excellent |
| Precision adjustment | Medium | High |
| Vibration resistance | Moderate | Superior |
5. Typical Applications of ISO 4035
- Machine tool assemblies
- Hydraulic equipment
- Precision instrumentation
- Automotive engine components
- Aerospace sub-assemblies
- Power transmission systems
6. Locking Mechanism (Jam Nut Method)
ISO 4035 is commonly used as:
- Secondary locking nut
- Position-holding nut
- Calibration nut
Standard method:
1️⃣ Primary nut tightened
2️⃣ ISO 4035 thin nut tightened against it
3️⃣ Creates axial thread locking force
7. Dimensional Range of ISO 4035
ISO 4035 typically covers:
- Sizes from M8 to M52
- Metric fine pitch threads as per ISO standards
8. ISO 4035 Dimensional Overview (Example)
| Size | Fine Pitch | Width (s) | Thickness (m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| M10 | 1.25 | 17 mm | 5 mm |
| M12 | 1.5 | 19 mm | 6 mm |
| M16 | 1.5 | 24 mm | 8 mm |
| M20 | 1.5 | 30 mm | 10 mm |
9. Mechanical Properties (ISO 898-2)
ISO 4035 nuts follow ISO 898-2 property classifications.
Common Classes:
- Class 04
- Class 05
- Class 08
⚠️ Thin nuts are not designed for primary tensile load-bearing.
10. Bolt Compatibility Guide
| Bolt Grade | Usage |
|---|---|
