Washers

Countersunk Washers

Flat and oval head screws sit flush within these washers for a neat, finished appearance.

Metric Countersunk Washers

Flat and oval head screws sit flush within these metric washers for a neat, finished appearance.

Finishing Countersunk Washers

Metric Finishing Countersunk Washers

Cup Washers for Oversized Holes

Cover oversized holes and the ends of tubes and pipe with these cup-shaped washers.

Washers for Electrical Terminals

To keep electrical connections intact, these washers retain wires so they won't slip out from under your screw head.

Spring Lock Washers

Belleville Spring Lock Washers

Also known as conical washers, these have a slightly cupped shape that gives them spring-like flexibility to grip tighter than split and tooth lock washers.

Metric Spring Lock Washers

The arched shape of these washers presses up against a bolt and down against a nut to prevent loosening from wear, vibration, or temperature changes.

Belleville Spring Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws

These washers have smaller outside diameters than standard spring lock washers to fit neatly under socket head cap screws.

Spring Lock Washers for Slotted Bearing Nuts

Designed for use with bearing nuts, these lock washers have a conical shape that presses like a spring against bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys to hold them in place on your threaded shaft or spindle.

External-Tooth Lock Washers

Countersunk External-Tooth Lock Washers

The teeth on these washers firmly grip heads of 82° flat head countersunk screws.

Countersunk Tight-Grip External-Tooth Lock Washers

To keep 90° countersunk screws from loosening in vibration applications, the teeth on these washers bite further into the screw head and joint than standard external-tooth lock washers for a more secure hold.

Tight-Grip External-Tooth Lock Washers

The teeth on these washers bite further into the screw head and joint than standard external-tooth washers to provide a stronger hold.

Metric External-Tooth Lock Washers

Teeth on the outside edge of these metric washers bite into the screw head and joint for a tight grip.

Metric Tab Lock Washers

Bend the tab of these metric lock washers against the flats of a hex nut or bolt head to prevent the fastener and washer from turning and loosening due to vibration, wear, or changes in temperature.

Disc Springs

Belleville Disc Springs

Use these steel springs in noncorrosive environments.

Corrosion-Resistant Belleville Disc Springs

Made of stainless steel, these springs are more corrosion resistant than steel springs. Use them on shafts, bolts, and the ends of valves to maintain tension and separate components.

Extreme-Temperature Belleville Disc Springs

These springs withstand temperatures from -400° to 1100° F. All are 718 nickel, a high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy that's also known as Inconel.

Belleville Disc Springs for Ball Bearings

Install these springs, also known as bearing preload washers, against ball bearings to reduce noise and unwanted movement along the shaft.

Mil. Spec. Belleville Disc Springs

These springs meet MIL-W-12133.

Belleville Disc Springs for Flange Bolts

Keep pipe flange connections sealed during demanding applications. When installed under flange bolt heads, these springs compensate for shock loads, vibration, and thermal expansion and contraction.

Stacked Wave Disc Springs

Multiple rows of waves allow these springs to handle higher loads than standard wave disc springs.

Wave Disc Springs

Use these high-carbon steel springs in noncorrosive environments.

Corrosion-Resistant Wave Disc Springs

Made of stainless steel, these springs are more corrosion resistant than steel wave disc springs.

Corrosion-Resistant Stacked Wave Disc Springs

Made of 17-7 PH stainless steel with multiple rows of waves, these springs are more corrosion resistant than steel springs and handle greater loads than standard wave disc springs.

Split Wave Disc Springs

A gap allows these springs to compress without widening, so they won't bind or deform when used inside a housing with tight clearance.

Curved Disc Springs

Use these high-carbon steel springs in noncorrosive environments.

Corrosion-Resistant Curved Disc Springs

Made of stainless steel, these springs are more corrosion resistant than steel springs.

Notched Disc Springs

Notches make these springs more flexible than Belleville disc springs and allow liquid to flow around the spring, even while it's in use.

Finger Disc Springs

Raised tabs, known as fingers, enable these springs to compress without widening, so they won't bind or deform in housings with little clearance. Use with ball bearings in precision and high-speed drive assemblies to reduce noise, vibration, and wear.
