In order to optimize a nut and a method for the production of a nut, comprising a nut body which is provided or can be provided with an internal thread and has a polygonal section with a polygonal outer contour which has, on the one hand, edge areas and, on the other hand, key faces which are located between the edge areas and extend in key face planes extending in a manner conforming to standards, in such a manner that it has mechanical properties which are as ideal as possible with as low a weight as possible, it is suggested that the nut body have a plurality of recesses which extend into the nut body in the direction of the bore proceeding from the respective key face planes.

Nut with polygonal section

In order to improve a securing nut comprising a base member which is provided around its circumference with a key face contour, a threaded bolt receptacle which is provided with an internal thread and passes through the base member in the direction of a central axis as well as at least one clamping element which is provided on the base member, in such a manner that it is, on the one hand, simple to produce and, on the other hand, allows reliable clamping without damaging the threaded bolt it is suggested that the clamping element be a collar which is arranged on one side of the base member and in which the internal thread is continued, and that the collar extend around the threaded bolt receptacle in an essentially closed manner in circumferential direction with respect to the central axis.
