A
Belleville washer is a conical shaped spring disc. |
Used
to maintain load or tension in bolted assemblies. |
 |
A
Beveled flat washer which can be square or circular with one
bearing surface having an oblique angle. |
Commonly
used when fastening bolts through the flanges of
"I" beams. |
 |
A
COUNTER SUNK finishing formed circular washer designed for use with flat or
oval head screws. |
Designed
for accommodating the heads of countersunk screws.
It provides additional bearing area on the
material being fastened and can be used to give a neat,
finished appearance. |
 |
A
436 hardened steel washer
manufactured in accordance with ASTM Standard F436. |
Designed
for general-purpose mechanical and structural use with
bolts, nuts, studs, and other internally and externally
threaded fasteners. |
 |
A
Fender washer flat washer with significantly more surface area than a
USS or SAE washer, but made from a thinner gauge steel
than most flat washers. |
Used
where an extra wide bearing surface is required.
Originally designed for auto body work, they are
also used in sheet metal, plumbing, and electrical work. |
 |
The
machine screw flat washer is the smallest type of flat washer with an outside diameter
equal to slightly twice the size of the inside diameter. |
Designed
for use with machine screws in general industrial
applications. |
 |
SAE
flat washer is similar to a USS washer, but with slightly smaller
inside and outside diameters and made from thinner
materials than USS washers. |
Designed
to meet the requirements in the field of automotive
engineering. |
 |
A
Split Lock washer coiled, hardened, split circular washer with a
slightly trapezoidal wire section. |
Preferred
lock washer for use with hardened bearing surfaces.
Applies greater bolt tension per unit of torque.
Provides a hardened bearing surface, creating
more uniform torque control.
Provides more uniform load distribution.
Resists loosening cause d by vibration and
corrosion. |
 |
A
Tooth lock washer hardened circular washer with twisted prongs or teeth
protruding from the inside and/or the outer edges of the
washer. |
Internal
tooth are preferred when a finished appearance is
crucial since the teeth are hidden under the head of the
screw. External
tooth offer greater locking efficiency since the teeth
are on the largest radius and provide greater torsional
resistance. Combination
tooth are used where a larger bearing surface is
desired, where the hole is oversized or out of round,
and for an optimum electrical connection. |
 |
A
USS flat washer is thin, flat, circular washer with a centrally located
hole. |
Designed
to meet the majority of industrial applications in
manufacturing, maintenance, and repair. |
