    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, and machinery.
    You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.

    Insulating Sleeve Washers

    Cover screw threads to stop electrical current in its tracks and prevent short circuits. These washers create a barrier between the screw threads and the mating surface when mounted in through holes. This barrier also extends the life of your assembly by preventing galvanic corrosion, which is when two different metals rust more quickly due to contact with each other.
    Flat Edge
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Insulating Washers. Insulating Sleeve Washers, Flat Edge.
    The flat edge distributes weight evenly to take pressure off screw heads.
    Nylon—Our most versatile insulating washers, these block unwanted current in everything from switches and circuit breakers to control panels and electric motors.

    Split Lock Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lock Washers. Split-Lock Washer.
    Stop nuts and screws from loosening due to mild vibration. As you tighten, the uneven ends bite into the nut or screw so it won't back out. While they're not as vibration resistant as other lock washers, they are a great fit for electrical panels, light fixtures, and other light duty assemblies. Split lock washers are not reusable, and they only work with fasteners that have right-hand threads.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers won't rust when exposed to moisture. However, they can't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these washers have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They won't rust in wet and outdoor environments, but can't hold up to harsh chemicals as well as 316 stainless steel.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these washers to rust.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant Zinc-Flake-Coated Steel—With 40 times the corrosion resistance of zinc-plated steel, these withstand rust as well as 316 stainless steel. They have been tested to extreme standards, including 1,000 hours of salt spray. They are similar to Magni-coated washers.
    Aluminum—One-third the weight of steel, these washers are commonly used for assemblies that have weight limits. They're an alternative to stainless steel for rust resistance, but aren't as strong.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant Silicon Bronze—The choice for marine environments, these washers won't rust or deteriorate when submerged in salt water. They resist corrosion as well as 316 stainless steel, but are not quite as strong.

    Mil. Spec. Split Lock Washers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lock Washers. Mil. Spec., Split-Lock Washer.
    These washers are manufactured and tested to strict U.S. military standards for material and construction. As you tighten, the uneven ends bite into the nut or screw so it won't loosen due to mild vibration. While they don't hold as tightly as other lock washers, they are a great fit for electrical panels, light fixtures, and other light duty assemblies. Split lock washers are not reusable, and they only work with fasteners that have right-hand threads.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant Passivated 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant Black-Oxide 316 Stainless Steel—Combines a finished appearance with the rust resistance of 316 stainless steel. Even if the coating wears off, these washers will hold up in just about any environment, including salt water and most chemicals.
    Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Steel—With the same corrosion resistance as zinc-plated steel, these withstand occasional exposure to moisture.
    Corrosion-Resistant Cadmium-Plated Steel—The finish creates a better barrier against rust than zinc plating for use in wet and outdoor environments.

    Heavy-Vibration-Resistant Spring Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lock Washers. Conical Washer, For Socket Head Screws, Spring Lock Washer.
    Stop socket head screws from wiggling loose on equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines, turbines, and generators. These washers have a small diameter to fit under screws with narrow heads. Similar to a spring, they flatten under pressure to add tension between mating surfaces. As long as the washers aren't deformed or otherwise damaged, you can reuse them indefinitely without losing locking strength. Also known as conical washers and Belleville washers.
    Stack multiple washers in the same direction to double or triple how much weight they can bear. Stack washers in opposite directions for better deflection, which means they compress further and withstand more shock and movement without loosening.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these washers to rust.
    Top-and-Bottom Serration—Adds friction for extra gripping power.
