Slotted Hex Nut
Hex Slotted Nuts. Castellated Nuts. Slotted Nuts. Whatever you may call them, the nuts perform well under rotating applications. They can be found used in hold bearings and bushing sleeves in place. The castle turret-like features on the top of these nuts permit a cotter pin to lock the nuts in place and prevent loosening.
