Plain Washers, also known as flat washers, are simple, flat,
disk-shaped components used to distribute the load of a
fastener, such as a bolt or screw, over a larger surface area. This helps prevent damage to the
material being fastened
and reduces the risk of loosening due to vibration or uneven surfaces.
Product Highlights
Key Features: Plain washers spread the load of the fastener across a wider area,
reducing the pressure on the material and minimizing
the risk of deformation or damage.
Material Protection: By providing a barrier between the fastener and the surface,
washers help protect the material from abrasion and
corrosion, especially in softer materials like wood or plastic.
Material Options: Available in a variety of materials, including stainless steel,
carbon steel, brass, and nylon, plain washers offer
different levels of strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation to suit various
environments and
applications.
Applications: Commonly used in construction, automotive, electrical, and plumbing
projects, plain washers are versatile components
that help ensure a secure and long-lasting assembly.
