English translation:PAN round nut/round PAN nut/PAN-type nut/PAN nut/PAN
Explanation:
I am not really sure about this, but I did some googling. PAN seems to be an abbreviation for this product, but I couldn't find what it stood for. I think the エン might mean "round" in this case. Maybe they made it パニ instead of パン because パンエン is harder to say than パニエン. Anyway, this is just what googling got me in a few minutes, so I recommend looking into it more.

I have also found that there are nuts called "pinion" nuts. This could be what you are looking for. Check out the google image results for pinion nut and compare them to the pictures of the product on the site.

Also try googling ピニオンナット and see if those images look like what is on the website. I think they may have just guessed at the pronunciation with their katakana interpretation or it's a typo. It would be very rare for a company to have a totally unique type of nut with its own unique name that doesn't show up anywhere else on the internet. I am thinking they must have written it wrong.

skirted nut


Explanation:
Why "skirted", because "Skirt Nut" seems to have been bought as a proprietary product name (linked 2), even though many suppliers disregard that distinction.

Link 1 explains the origin of this term. (a light wicker cage ladies of the court used to wear inside their skirt to give it more volume)
Link 2 cites one application of it, the most common one being the nuts used to tighten a wheel to their wheel bearing and hub.

The idea of it is to provide each of the nut used maximum contact area with the piece tightened to minimise the slippage and loosening that eventually does occur through the vibrations that such an assembly sustains when worked. Depending on the application and/or the torque specs set, that nut skirt can take many different shapes: plain flat, for max. contact, inverse conical to retain that anti-splippage property over a wider range of tightening torques, with both central and lateral threads, etc....

One more point I left behind:
Why ン between パニエ and ナット? suspect a short for の that gemminated with the initial phoneme of ナット. Not your gut feeling, everyone? :)

Oops! apologies for this rushed upload: "to their wheel bearing and hub" should read "to its wheel bearing and hub."

Example sentence(s):
  • AME Skirted Nut fills the void that standard flange nuts dont by eliminating 'Clocking' caused by standard wheel nuts not filling wheel hope completely. Feature.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yeah, PAN was the only "translation" I could find, and as you noted it seems to be some kind of acronym. But I can't find what it stands for anywhere. I will likely just leave my translation as "PAN". (The "N" seems to stand for "nut", judging from how "PAN" is given in parentheses after パニエンナット instead of "PAN nut" in some online catalogues.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  David Gibney: The shape of the washer/flange might be where "pan" is coming from like "pan head screws". Could the 凸凹リップ be the エン/縁 part?

Conical washer nut - I'm not sure if the term is used universally. It's used by Taiwanese companies.
