Swivel Hex Nut Supplier

Swivel Hex Nut Supplier

Swivel Hex Nut Supplier

(OP)
I'm having trouble locating a supplier of swivel hex nuts (metric). I've been all over the net, Thomas Register etc. today and have struck out (Although I did find inch parts at McMaster-Carr). Maybe I'm using the wrong name. The part I need is a hex nut with an attached washer that rotates freely. Is anyone familiar with a supplier / distributor / manufacturer of these things? Is there a supporting DIN or ISO specification? Any help is appreciated.

RE: Swivel Hex Nut Supplier

If you're not thinking of a self-aligning nut/washer assembly, what you're describing is often referred to as a "captive" washer (which may help you in your search).  An example: http://mdmetric.com/prod/pai/pdf/drs10.pdf

I appreciate the quick responses from everyone. Nut and Washer Assemblies and Captive Washers seem to work much better as a search term. Kenneth, you sent the link to the exact part I need - I really appreciate that!
