5. Enstalasyon ak Itilizasyon
Floating cage nuts are designed for insertion into square holes in panels or frames. The cage compresses as it is inserted, then expands to secure the nut in place. The internal nut can then move slightly within the cage, allowing for easier bolt alignment, especially in blind applications.
