What are thick washers called?

Structural Washers

These washers are thicker than most flat washers, so they can withstand exceptionally high loads. Their build tends to mimic that of a standard flat washer.

What are C washers used for?

C-washers are designed to slide in and out of position on a bolt or shaft in a partially completed assembly. They can also be used as a retention device on a grooved shaft to keep components in place.

What is the difference between form A and form B washers?

Type A is a series of steel washers at broad tolerances, where precision is not critical. Type B is a series of flat washers with tighter tolerances where outside diameters are categorized as “narrow”, “regular” or “wide” for specific bolt sizes. “Type” is not to be confused with “form” (but often is).

Are there different grades of washers?

Grades: Flat washers do not have a specific grade as traditional fasteners such as Grade 5 or Grade 8 bolts do however there are two common types of steel used. Standard steel flat washers (low carbon steel) are not rated for hardness. Hardened steel flat washers.

What are metal washers?

A metal washer is a small flat piece of metal that has a hole in the center and is used as a spacer, a method for absorbing shock or distributing the load of a fastener. There are few limitations on the types of materials that can be used to produce washers.

What are different washers used for?

Most washers can be categorized into three broad types; Plain washers, which spread a load, and prevent damage to the surface being fixed, or provide some sort of insulation such as electrical. Spring washers, which have axial flexibility and are used to prevent fastening or loosening due to vibrations.

What is a Grade 8 washer?

Grade 8 SAE Flat Washers are manufactured from High Strength Alloy Steel. It is recommended that a Grade 8 Flat Washer be used with Grade 8 Nuts and Bolts. Grade 8 Washers do not crush and deform when torque is applied in tightening.

What is Form G washers?

Form G washers are the heaviest duty flat round washers available as standard. They are much thicker than regular washers with a much bigger outside diameter. Available in sizes M5 to M30 in zinc plated and stainless steel.

What does M10 mean on a washer?

M10 washers have a diameter of 10 mm and are one of the most common sized washers we stock. Designed to fit between a nut and bolt, they help reduce any vibrations in the fixing and distribute the load of the nut whilst offering protection to the surface.

What is the difference between Type A and Type B washers?

Type A is a series of steel washers with broad tolerances, where precision is NOT critical. Type B is a series of flat washers with tighter tolerances where outside diameters are categorized as Narrow, Regular or Wide for specific bolt sizes.

What is a Grade 5 washer?

Flat washers are positioned under the head of a bolt or nut in order to provide a smooth bearing surface and distribute the fastener load over a wider area.

What is a penny washer?

Penny washers are large diameter washers which spread the load and reduce stress on thin gauge material or soft material such as timber. They protect the surface from being damaged during installation by distributing the pressure.

What does M6 mean on a washer?

Metric Washers

Is M10 a 10mm?

Steel bolt with M10 metric thread. Metric threads are designated with a capital M plus an indication to their nominal outer diameter and their pitch: This bolt is M10 x 1.5 – which means the outside diameter is 10mm and the threads are 1.5mm apart (the most common thread pitch for M10).

What are Form C washers?

A form C washer has the same thickness as a form A washer but has a larger outside diameter. Form C washers are thicker than form B washers and have a larger outside diameter.

What is M6 washer?

M6 washers are used to fit between a nut and bolt, to reduce any vibrations in the fixing and distribute the load of the nut whilst offering protection to the surface.

What are spring washers?

Spring washers are a subtype of washers that are conical in shape to prevent them from resting flush against a surface without the presence of a load. They are designed to provide a spring force and absorb shock by providing an axial load that counters vibrations.

What size is M5 washer?

Is M12 bigger than M10?

The size of a metric screw or bolt is specified as diameter, pitch and length, in millimeters (millimeters is abbreviated “mm”).
…
Table 3.

What does M5 mean?

What is a Form F washer?

Form F washers are similar to the standard form A standard flat washer, but have a slightly larger outside diameter. The dimensions for these washers can be found here. Galvanised coatings prevent oxidation of the protected metal to create a longer lasting finish.
