Product Overview
Flat washers are simple yet critical components designed to distribute the load of a threaded fastener across a wider surface area. They prevent damage to the material being fastened, reduce loosening caused by vibration, and provide a smooth bearing surface for nuts and bolt heads. As a fundamental element in virtually every assembly, our precision-manufactured washers ensure reliable performance and extended joint life.
Key Advantages
Optimal Load Distribution: Reduces surface pressure and prevents indentation or damage to soft materials.
Vibration Resistance: Helps maintain clamp load by compensating for surface irregularities.
Corrosion Barrier: Certain finishes act as a sacrificial layer, protecting both the fastener and the host material.
Electrical Isolation: Non-conductive materials (e.g., nylon) provide insulation in electrical applications.
Cost-Effective Protection: A simple, economical solution to prevent costly repair or wear of assembled parts.
