Established in 2006, Sinsun Hardware has grown to become an undisputed industry leader in manufacturing and global supply networks. Operating from our giant 30,000 square meter integrated plant, we provide world-class fastening solutions to distributors, factories, and OEM/ODM buyers in over 80 countries. Our facility processes over 36,000 tons of high-grade raw wire annually, delivering top-tier components like Jam Nuts (Hex Thin Nuts), custom anchor bolts, heavy-duty screws, and industrial nails.
By leveraging advanced German multi-station cold heading machinery and precision Taiwanese manufacturing techniques, Sinsun ensures every single fastener adheres to rigorous dimensional standards (±0.02mm) and physical hardness profiles (HRC 28-32). Supported by a massive 12,000 square meter smart logistics warehouse carrying a constant capacity of 18,000+ pallets, we guarantee rapid turnaround times and uninterrupted bulk shipments for critical engineering infrastructures.
Our commitment to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) is backed by rigorous raw-material vetting, vertically integrated production, and on-site chemical laboratories testing for composition, microstructural stability, and tensile strength up to 1000+ MPa.
We do not just supply parts; we design solutions that mitigate structural risks, lower installation friction, and resist mechanical loosening under harsh operational demands.
In mechanical assemblies, vibrational loads, cyclic stresses, and temperature swings constantly compromise standard bolt tensions. Standard hex nuts might loosen over time, leading to joint failures. This is where Jam Nuts (Hex Thin Nuts) play a critical safety role. Designed specifically with a lower profile (ranging from 0.5 to 0.8 times the thickness of a standard hex nut), these components are engineered to preserve bolt preload through an active locknut configuration.
When two nuts are tightened against each other on a bolt, the force system shifts. By first tightening the jam nut and subsequently overlaying a standard hex nut, a clamping force is generated between the two faces. This forces the threads of the inner thin nut and the outer thick nut to bear against opposite sides of the bolt's threads, eliminating backlash and preventing axial thread movement.
A common engineering error is to install the thin nut on the outside. Correct practice dictates that the thin jam nut must go on the joint surface first. The outer, thicker nut, when tightened, relieves the inner nut of its load and assumes the tensile load of the joint. Sinsun's precision manufacturing ensures thread pitch tolerances meet Class 6H requirements to guarantee uniform load distribution.
Hex thin nuts are also utilized as standalone items where clearance is restricted. If a joint does not require maximum tensile strength but demands security in minimal axial spacing, thin nuts (complying with DIN 439 or ISO 4035) offer a lightweight, high-reliability alternative to bulkier standard hex nuts.

From a specialized local screw factory to a globally integrated fastener manufacturer, explore Sinsun's continuous trajectory of structural growth and technological breakthroughs.
We began production in Northern China with a dedicated target: mastering the engineering of self-tapping screws. This early specialization built our fundamental expertise in metal deformation, thread forming, and wire preparation.
Responding to international demand, we launched our export division to handle global distribution networks. This step required conforming to global quality documentation systems, paving the way for CE and ISO audits.
To secure end-to-end quality control, Sinsun installed four high-capacity spheroidizing annealing furnaces and established in-house wire drawing lines. We started processing wire directly from top mills like XING TAI Steel, reducing microstructural variance.
We acquired advanced German multi-station cold heading machines to expand into complex structural components, including heavy-duty self-drilling screws, cap nuts, and thin jam nuts requiring dimensional stability.
Annual manufacturing volumes climbed to 36,000 tons, shipping more than 1,100 export containers to logistics hubs globally, confirming Sinsun's ability to service large-scale industrial accounts.
We established a 12,000 square meter smart warehouse carrying 18,000+ pallets of finished products. A dedicated 1,200 square meter rapid-stock zone was designated for standard product SKUs to guarantee instant dispatch.
We added four advanced, automated atmosphere-controlled heat treatment lines. This in-house capability provides consistent core tempering and surface hardening, enabling strict control over grain structure and tensile integrity.
Sourcing your industrial jam nuts and fasteners from Sinsun Hardware combines local geological material access with global logistics systems. Our factory model provides tangible supply chain benefits:
We partner directly with XING TAI Steel, a premier domestic producer of high-grade alloy carbon and stainless steels. This relationship ensures a steady supply of boron-modified steels, 10B21, 35K, and 45# carbon steels with traceable mill certificates for every manufacturing batch.
By blending high-end German multi-station forming units with Taiwanese tooling systems, Sinsun maintains tight manufacturing tolerances of ±0.02mm. This precision ensures clean hexagonal geometry and precise thread paths, preventing thread stripping or galling during automated assembly line feeds.
Every delivery batch undergoes a minimum of 12 internal inspection gates. In addition to thread ring gauge calibration, our quality assurance lab utilizes optical sortation machinery, micro-Vickers hardness testers, and salt-spray chambers to verify corrosion barriers up to 1,000+ hours.
Jam Nuts (Hex Thin Nuts) are critical components across various heavy-duty industries and specialized mechanical assemblies:
In hydraulic valves and pneumatic cylinder rod ends, thin jam nuts lock piston assemblies in place. Because piston rods stroke repeatedly, standard fasteners face axial backlash. A secondary thin nut secures the joint, resisting heavy shock cycles without requiring adhesive locking agents.
Tie-rods and sway bars rely on adjustable linkages. Engineers use a combination of left-hand and right-hand threaded jam nuts to lock steering components at precise lengths. Sinsun's exact control over coating thickness ensures that adjustments remain simple even after years of exposure to road de-icing salts.
Solar tracking brackets endure constant wind loads. Standard structural nuts can suffer from microscopic thread slippage over time. Utilizing zinc-nickel or Geomet-treated hex thin nuts prevents thread movement, ensuring long-term stability for solar energy plants.
For international tier-1 suppliers, compliance is non-negotiable. Sinsun Hardware manufactures in strict accordance with the following regional requirements:
The global industrial fastener industry is transitioning toward smart automation, environmental compliance, and high-performance alloys. Here is how Sinsun Hardware is aligning its development with these shifts:
Regulatory frameworks like the European Green Deal are driving the replacement of traditional chemical coatings. Sinsun is expanding its eco-friendly options, introducing thin-film organic zinc coatings that provide superior salt-spray performance without heavy metal contamination.
As modern automotive and aerospace plants transition to robotic assembly systems, even a single malformed nut can stop a production line. Sinsun employs high-speed camera-based optical sorting systems to target Zero PPM defect rates for OEM shipments.
By connecting ERP systems with global shipping partners and maintaining standard stock in our 12,000 square meter facility, Sinsun offers real-time order visibility, flexible container Consolidation (LCL), and stable pricing structures.
The thin jam nut must be installed first, tightened to approximately 25% to 50% of the target torque. The standard (thick) nut is then installed on top and tightened to the full torque specification. As the thick nut is tightened, it stretches the bolt, relieving the thread pressure on the thin nut and transferring the primary tensile load to the outer thick nut. Reversing this sequence can cause thread stripping in the thin nut under high structural loads.
The primary dimensional standards for metric sizes are DIN 439 (ISO 4035) and DIN 936. For imperial sizes used in North America, standard dimensions are regulated by ASME B18.2.2. These specifications define the width across flats, thread tolerances (typically 6H or 2B), chamfer styles, and minimum thread height limits.
Hydrogen embrittlement is a risk for fasteners with a hardness above HRC 32, particularly after acid pickling or electroplating. Sinsun mitigates this risk by managing tempering cycles in our computer-controlled atmosphere furnaces. For high-tensile fasteners, we perform a baking process (typically at 200°C for 4 to 8 hours) immediately after electroplating to drive out trapped hydrogen atoms.
