Abstract
A threaded nut having a through radial slot bridged by a screw and a diametrically opposite partial radial slot that leaves a cross-sectional area of the nut which provides a tensile strength that is related to the ability of the screw to close the through slot whereby the nut, when clamped onto a shaft, is essentially evenly compressed about its contact area with the shaft.
