Industrial Washers: Flat, Lock, Square & Structural Styles
Many fastening applications will require an externally threaded bolt or screw on one side of the material being fastened and a nut on the far side to create a secure connection. Often, a flat washer or lock washer is also called out to support the connection and maintain the integrity of the assembly.
Industrial washers is a general term for circular fasteners that can be manufactured from various durable materials, including carbon steel, stainless steel, plastic, and even rubber. These heavy duty components feature a center hole that corresponds to a threaded fastener’s diameter. Be sure to consider any environmental factors, such as the need for high corrosion resistance, when choosing the best washer material and finish for your project.
Industrial washers serve a variety of purposes and offer vital functionality, including load distribution, spacing, vibration absorption, surface protection, and weatherproofing. From large capacity structural washers to specialized square washers, selecting the right style is key, as many washers serve multiple purposes within a bolted joint.
