| Abstract: | The strength of one-piece Kapron nuts has been investigated in static loading tests. Graphs of the load versus the number of turns, which reflect the distribution of the load over the turns, are presented. The types of failure of threads of five standard sizes with different profiles are analyzed. It is concluded that there is an important difference between the usual thread calculation model based on the strength of the turns in shear, bearing and bending and the actual loading of the turns of polyamide nuts cooperating with steel screws.Dnepropetrovsk Metallurgical Institute.
