Washers and Spring Washers

Washers and spring washers are essential parts of many different products, from automobiles and ships to domestic items. Washers are used to distribute clamping force evenly over the part being clamped, or to provide a smooth surface for a fastener to hold onto. Spring Washers increase the load bearing capacity of a fastener and prevent it from loosening due to vibration. Both washers and spring washers are necessary components of many fastening and construction applications, offering necessary strength and stability.

Washers are available in both standard and non-standard forms, and each has their own specific use. Standard washers are designed to fit the standard bolt and nut with a flat outside surface and uniform thickness. There are various types of washers available, such as flat, star, helical, and wave washers. The type of washer used will depend on the application, and the type of standard bolt or nut being used.

Non-Standard washers, on the other hand, are customized to the customer and application needs. They are formed in any shape, size, thickness and hole diameter, and have any kind of coating material. Some of the most common non-standard washers are those used for aerospace and heavy-duty machines. These non-standard washers provide extra support and durability, and will be able to endure even the harshest conditions.

Spring Washers, like their name suggests, a spring washer has a spring-like shape and is capable of providing a higher spring force than other Washers. Spring washers can also come in both standard and non-standard forms. Standard forms of Spring Washers include wave spring washers, star spring washers, and helical spring washers. Non-Standard forms include those shaped and cut for special applications, such as aerospace and military applications, and thicknesses of up to 10mm for extra strength and protection.

When selecting Washers and Spring Washers for any application, it is important to carefully consider the size, strength, and type of material used, as well as the specifications of the fastener being used. By doing this, you will be able to ensure that the Washer or Spring Washer you choose will be able to provide the necessary strength, stability, and protection. If you are unsure which type of Washer or Spring Washer is best for your application, it is best to consult a professional who will be able to advise you on the right products for your needs.
