Stainless Steel Split Lock Washers

Product description

Stainless Steel Split Lock Washer

When you thread a bolt and tighten it, these metric washers are designed to flatten out and apply tension to the joint. This added tension helps prevent loosening caused by minimal vibrations. It's important to note that all of these washers adhere to established standards such as DIN or ASME for their split lock washer dimensions.

The effectiveness of standard split lock washers lies in their left-hand helix design, which restricts their compatibility to bolts with right-hand threads. This specific configuration effectively counteracts the clockwise rotation induced by vibrations. These washers possess uneven split ends that firmly grip unhardened nuts and bolts when tightened, offering a superior fastening solution compared to curved or wave washers. However, it's crucial to note that this robust hold is only applicable for applications involving clockwise rotation. Unfastening the tightened washers will result in deformation of the washers, nuts, and bolts, rendering them unsuitable for reuse. Lastly, it is important to avoid using these washers on hardened surfaces, as this can lead to undesirable consequences.

Steel washers are not as corrosion resistant as stainless steel washers, and they are slightly weaker. If you are in a humid, damp, or washdown environment, it is advisable to use 304 stainless steel washers. However, it's important to note that these stainless steel washers will corrode if they are exposed to saltwater and chlorine solutions.
