Te-Co 41409T Black Oxide 1018 Steel Tapped Through T-Slot Nut, 1/2″-13 TPI, 5/8″ Height x 7/8″ Width x 9/16″ Table Slot (Pack of 5)

Description

Product Overview

The Te-Co 41409T T‑Slot Nut is engineered for demanding industrial applications where precision, durability, and repeatability are essential. Crafted from case‑hardened 1018 steel, the nut undergoes a rigorous heat‑treatment process that yields a hardened core while preserving a tough exterior. A black oxide finish is applied to enhance corrosion resistance, reduce friction, and provide a sleek, professional appearance that integrates seamlessly into modern machine designs.

Featuring a 1/2″‑13 thread, this nut conforms to standard CNC machine specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of lead screws, linear guides, and extrusion profiles. The 9/16″ table slot dimension is optimized for secure engagement with T‑slot tracks, delivering a stable connection that resists loosening under vibration and load cycling.

Each package contains five identical nuts, allowing users to stock essential spare parts or complete multi‑point fastening tasks without the need for additional inventory. The compact dimensions—5/8″ width by 7/8″ height—provide a low‑profile solution that maximizes usable space within tight mechanical assemblies.

Designed with machinists, engineers, and maintenance professionals in mind, the Te-Co 41409T offers a balance of strength and ease of installation. The precise tolerances guarantee a snug fit that minimizes play, while the black oxide coating reduces the likelihood of galling during repeated assembly and disassembly cycles.

Overall, this T‑Slot Nut exemplifies Te-Co’s commitment to quality manufacturing, delivering a component that meets the rigorous standards of industrial automation, robotics, and custom fabrication projects.

Usage

In CNC machining centers, the 41409T nut is commonly used to secure linear motion components such as ball screws and guide rails to aluminum extrusion frames. Its robust thread and slot geometry enable precise positioning, which is critical for maintaining tight tolerances during high‑speed cutting or milling operations.

For robotics and automation equipment, the nut provides a reliable anchor point for mounting actuators, sensors, and control panels. The black oxide finish helps mitigate wear caused by frequent adjustments, ensuring long‑term stability even in environments with dust or light exposure to chemicals.

Industrial assembly lines that rely on modular T‑slot framing benefit from the nut’s quick‑install design. Technicians can rapidly attach fixtures, workstations, or safety guards without the need for specialized tools, reducing downtime and improving overall productivity.

Additionally, the nut is suitable for custom prototyping projects where designers require a dependable fastening element that can be easily swapped or repositioned as the prototype evolves. Its standardized dimensions make it compatible with a broad array of off‑the‑shelf T‑slot accessories.

FAQ

What material is the nut made from and why is it important?

The nut is made from case‑hardened 1018 steel, a medium‑carbon alloy known for its balance of toughness and machinability. The case‑hardening process creates a hard exterior while keeping a ductile core, which helps the nut resist deformation, wear, and breakage in high‑stress applications.

Can the black oxide coating be removed or re‑applied?

The black oxide coating is chemically bonded to the steel surface and is not intended to be removed. If the coating becomes damaged, the nut should be replaced to maintain its corrosion‑resistant properties. Re‑coating is possible but requires specialized equipment and is not recommended for end users.

Is this nut compatible with metric T‑slot systems?

While the nut is sized for imperial T‑slot dimensions (9/16″ slot), many metric extrusion manufacturers produce compatible profiles that accept the same slot width. Always verify the slot dimensions of your specific extrusion before installation.

How many nuts are included in the package and can I purchase additional quantities?

Each package contains five nuts, which is ideal for most small‑to‑medium projects. Additional packs can be ordered separately, and bulk pricing may be available for larger volume purchases through our sales channel.

What warranty or support does Te-Co provide for this product?

Te-Co offers a limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Our technical support team is available to answer installation questions, provide compatibility guidance, and assist with any warranty claims.
