Vimal Industrial Corporation is a trusted supplier and stockist of DIN 557 Square Nuts based in Mumbai, India. These precision‑engineered four‑sided nuts are designed for high‑strength fastening applications where a larger bearing surface and increased torque grip are essential. Square nuts are widely used in construction, heavy machinery, railway assemblies, and wooden structures due to their ability to provide strong clamping force and easy wrench engagement.
Manufactured in compliance with the DIN 557 standard, these nuts feature a square profile with chamfered edges and standard metric threads. The four‑flat design offers more surface contact with the workpiece compared to hex nuts, reducing the risk of rounding and enabling higher tightening forces. Available in high‑tensile carbon steel, stainless steel, and brass, DIN 557 square nuts provide dependable fastening solutions for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The popularity of DIN 557 Square Nuts lies in their simplicity, strength, and reliability. Their large contact area ensures even load distribution, making them ideal for fastening softer materials like wood and certain plastics, as well as for structural metal connections. The square profile also offers excellent resistance to loosening under vibration when used with lock washers or as part of a bolted assembly.
At Vimal Industrial Corporation, we stock DIN 557 nuts in a wide range of sizes, property classes, and finishes including plain, zinc‑plated, hot‑dip galvanized, black oxide, and PTFE‑coated options.

DIN 557 Square Nuts are primarily used in applications where greater surface contact is required. Their square shape prevents rotation in channels or grooves and provides a larger bearing surface, making them ideal for structural assemblies, furniture manufacturing, machinery, and wood fastening applications.
These nuts are available in a variety of materials such as mild steel, stainless steel (A2/A4), brass, and zinc-plated carbon steel. The choice of material depends on the environmental conditions, load requirements, and corrosion resistance needed for the application.
While hex nuts are the most commonly used, square nuts offer higher resistance to loosening due to their four-sided design. They are often used in tight spaces or in combination with flat washers to prevent pull-through and ensure even load distribution.
Yes, when manufactured in stainless steel (A2/A4) or with zinc-plating, DIN 557 Square Nuts offer excellent corrosion resistance. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, especially in humid or chemically exposed environments.
Absolutely. At Vimal Industrial Corporation, we supply DIN 557 Square Nuts in bulk quantities and can provide custom sizes, finishes, and packaging based on your project or OEM requirements. Contact us directly for technical support and pricing.
