Finishing Washers

Used in applications with nuts and bolts. The flat washer provides a greater bearing surface which helps prevent a nut or bolt head from tearing through the material. Flat washers are commonly used in decks and fence building.

Spring Washers Are Formed In An Irregular Shape To Provide Lighter Resistance And Distribute Pressure In Low Strength Fastening. Spring Washers compress to act like a spring and deflect when loaded, providing a preload between the two joined surfaces. Fasteners are used where assemblies need a part to eliminate rattle, maintain assembly tension, compensate for expansion or contraction, or to absorb intermittent shock loads for long lasting durability.

Stainless Steel Split Lock Washers are manufactured with a trapezoidal cross section that deflects under load and can be used with or without a Stainless Steel Flat Washer. They provide marginal resistance to vibration loosening and are ideal in applications where fasteners have a tendency to rotate or lose friction. Stainless Steel Split Lock Washers are forged from 18-8 stainless steel and are covered by the ASME B18.21.1 standard. Special Features: Trapezodial Cross Section, Corrosion Resistant, Chemical Resistant Applications: Corrosive Environments, Marine Applications, General Purpose

Square Beveled Washers are commonly used to provide a parallel bearing surface when fastening bolts through the flanges of I-beams in structural applications.

Stainless Steel Fender Washers differ from Stainless Steel Flat Washers in that their outside diameters are much larger in proportion to their center holes. With this design a fender washer can be placed under the head of a bolt or nut to help distribute forces applied when tightening or to cover an oversized hole.
