    For Stepped 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. They also have an inner tab that sits in the shaft or spindle’s keyway to prevent the nut from loosening.
    Steel—Steel washers are strong and flexible.
    External Tooth—Washers with external teeth grip components using their teeth, in addition to spring tension.
    DIN 5406—DIN 462 and DIN 5406 washers meet international standards for lock washer dimensions. Pair DIN 462 washers with DIN 1804 bearing nuts, and DIN 5406 washers with DIN 981 bearing nuts.

    Slip these shims around existing mounting fasteners to precisely align and level components such as pumps, compressors, and gearboxes with motors, all without disassembling them. They’re also good for leveling machines on uneven surfaces. To reduce sizing errors, these shims are either labeled with their thickness so there's no need to measure or color coded by thickness to quickly spot the right size.
    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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these shims resist rust. However, they’ll corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Insertion Tools—Ease shim insertion and removal, keeping your fingers clear in the process.

    When you don’t know the exact shim thickness you’ll need, keep multiple slotted shim thicknesses on hand so you always have the right one. Slip these shims around existing mounting fasteners to precisely align and level components such as pumps, compressors, and gearboxes with motors, all without disassembling them. They’re also good for leveling machines on uneven surfaces.
