Automotive Half Shaft Fasteners

At the end of a half shaft, two things have to go right at the same time. The nut must hold the shaft to the hub under high torque and impact. And where the bearing meets the half shaft, friction has to stay low, because friction wears parts and makes noise.

This category covers the two fasteners we make for these two jobs in the transmission system: the half-shaft nut and the anti-friction washer. Both are made in our own factory.

Two Jobs at One Joint

One part holds. The other lets surfaces move without wear or noise.

JOB 1: HOLD

Half-Shaft Nut

An important fastener in the transmission system, used to secure the half shaft to the hub. It is usually made of high-strength steel so that it can withstand the high torque and impact forces generated while the vehicle is driving.

JOB 2: REDUCE FRICTION AND NOISE

Anti-Friction Washer

A transmission system component whose main aim is to reduce friction and abnormal noise, extend the service life of surrounding parts and improve driving comfort. It is usually carbonitrided for hardness and then coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) compounds.

What We Control

The nut is decided by its steel. The washer is decided by its surface. Our work is organized around both.

Heat treatment and coatingFor the washer, carbonitriding heat treatment and the PTFE coating decide how it performs. We keep both under process control.
Audited, repeatable processWith nearly 30 years of automotive fastener experience and many independent production lines, we run under IATF 16949:2016 and audit to VDA 6.3, so each lot is made the same way.
OEM/ODM, factory-directOur own R&D department develops to your drawing or your bearing and half-shaft conditions, and we quote at factory-direct prices.

Working on a Half Shaft Joint?

Send us your drawing, or tell us about the torque, the bearing and the noise problem you are trying to solve. Our engineers can recommend a half-shaft nut and an anti-friction washer to match.
