Out of Stock

This M6 propeller nut cap set includes both CW (clockwise) and CCW (counter-clockwise) threaded nylon nuts, essential for securing propellers on 2212 and similar brushless motors with opposite-threaded shafts to prevent loosening during flight.

Features

  • Includes both CW (Black) and CCW (Silver) M6 nylon prop nuts for complete compatibility.
  • Self-locking thread design matches motor rotation direction to prevent nuts from loosening in flight.
  • High-quality plastic construction ensures durability and consistent torque application.
  • Standard M6 thread size fits common 2212, 2216, and similar brushless motor shafts.
  • Color-coded nuts (Black for CW, Silver for CCW) for easy identification and installation.

Description

This propeller nut set addresses the critical need for proper thread direction matching on multirotor aircraft. Motors on a standard quadcopter are paired with opposing rotation directions (CW and CCW) to manage yaw torque. Using a nut with a thread direction opposite to the motor’s spin creates a self-locking effect, where flight forces tighten the nut rather than loosen it.

The set includes one of each thread type, manufactured from robust nylon. This material provides excellent resistance to vibration and corrosion while being lightweight. The 14.6mm cap height offers a secure grip for installation and removal using standard tools, ensuring propellers remain firmly mounted during aggressive FPV racing or freestyle maneuvers.

Key Features

  • Complete Thread Compatibility: Supplies both standard (right-hand/CCW) and reverse (left-hand/CW) M6 threads for any motor configuration.
  • Vibration-Resistant Nylon: High-quality plastic material dampens vibrations and prevents thread galling or stripping.
  • Self-Locking Flight Security: Thread direction is engineered to oppose motor spin, actively tightening the nut under operational loads.
  • Quick-Identification Color Coding: Black nut denotes CW (reverse) thread; Silver nut denotes CCW (standard) thread for foolproof assembly.
  • Universal M6 Fitment: Compatible with a wide range of brushless motors featuring M6 threaded propeller shafts, including 2212 and 920KV models.
  • Optimized Performance-to-Weight Ratio: Lightweight design minimizes added mass while providing essential securing force.

Applications

  • Securing propellers on 2212 and 2216-sized brushless motors used in 450-550mm DIY quadcopter and hexacopter builds.
  • Replacement nut set for FPV racing or freestyle drones where original hardware has been lost or damaged.
  • Essential hardware for any multirotor build utilizing motors with standard M6 threaded propeller shafts.
  • Maintenance kit component for tightening or replacing propeller nuts on aerial photography and videography platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which color nut is for a CW motor and which is for a CCW motor?

The Black nut is for CW (clockwise) motors, which have a reverse (left-hand) thread. The Silver nut is for CCW (counter-clockwise) motors, which have a standard (right-hand) thread. This color coding helps prevent installation errors during your build.

Are these nuts compatible with motors other than the 2212 size mentioned?

Yes, compatibility is determined by thread size, not motor size. These M6 threaded nuts will fit any brushless motor with an M6 propeller shaft, including common sizes like 2216, 2814, and many others. Always verify your motor's shaft thread size before purchasing.

Why are there two different thread directions (CW and CCW)?

Opposing thread directions create a self-locking mechanism. On a quadcopter, two motors spin clockwise and two spin counter-clockwise. Using a nut with a thread opposite to the motor's spin direction means flight forces will tighten the nut, preventing it from loosening mid-flight and increasing safety.

What tool should I use to install or remove these propeller nuts?

Use a standard M6 socket wrench or a correctly sized open-end wrench. The 14.6mm cap height provides ample surface for tool grip. Remember: for a CCW (Silver) nut, turn clockwise to tighten. For a CW (Black) nut, turn counter-clockwise to tighten.
