These thick washers are designed to support structural screws, studs, and nuts. The steel base is hot-dipped galvanized to form a thick coating that holds up ten times better than zinc plating in wet environments. Since they are strong and rust resistant, these washers are often used for construction and on building exteriors. They meet ISO 7416 (formerly DIN 6916), which is an international standard for washer dimensions. Use them with DIN 6914 structural hex head bolts and DIN 6915 structural hex nuts.

Square washers fit into slots and channels and have flat sides to keep them from rotating. They are wider and thicker than most round washers, making them good for distributing heavy loads.

18-8 stainless steel washers have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

Black-oxide steel washers are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments.

Galvanized steel washers are 10 times as corrosion resistant as zinc-plated steel washers.

As you tighten a bolt, these metric washers flatten to add tension to the threaded joint and prevent loosening from small amounts of vibration. All of these washers meet a DIN or ASME standard for split lock washer dimensions.

Curved and wave split lock washers can be used with bolts that have right- or left-hand threads to prevent clockwise or counterclockwise rotation from vibration. Although they don’t grip as tight as standard split lock washers for applications with clockwise rotation, they are best for those with counterclockwise rotation. These washers retain their shape when untightened and will not damage nuts and bolts, so all can be reused. Wave washers grip tighter than curved washers because they make contact with your surface at more points. Their wave design also means they compensate for uneven surfaces and tolerance variations.

Stainless steel washers are more corrosion resistant than steel, and nearly as strong. 18-8 stainless steel washers are good for humid, damp, and washdown environments, but will corrode when exposed to salt water and other chlorine solutions.

Use zinc-plated and yellow zinc-plated steel washers in mostly dry environments. The zinc plating offers temporary rust protection, but once it wears away the steel will rust. All of these washers are stronger and more wear resistant than stainless steel.

Also known as high-collar lock washers, these have smaller outside diameters than standard split lock washers to fit neatly under socket head cap screws. As a screw is tightened, they flatten to add tension to the joint and prevent loosening from small amounts of vibration.

18-8 stainless steel washers have good chemical resistance and may be mildly magnetic.

316 stainless steel washers have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. They may be mildly magnetic.

Teeth on the outside edge of these washers bite into the screw head and joint for a tight grip. Use with fasteners that have heads large enough to make contact with the teeth, such as pan, button, and binding head screws.

Zinc-plated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.

These washers have smaller outside diameters than standard spring lock washers to fit neatly under socket head cap screws. 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. They minimize loosening from wear, temperature changes, and vibration. Serrations on the top and bottom provide extra gripping power. Load-rated Belleville disc springs are also available.

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. Made of steel, they’re strong and flexible.

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.

Also known as NORD-LOCK® washers, these two-piece washers provide more locking power than split, tooth, and spring lock washers. Wedges on the inside lock the two pieces together, and serrations on the exterior grip surfaces to resist loosening from high vibration and shifting. Washers are reusable.

316 stainless steel washers have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water. They may be mildly magnetic.

Zinc-flake-coated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.

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. Their partial cone shape gives these washers spring-like flexibility, so they distribute force and grip tighter than split and tooth lock washers. All meet DIN 432, an international standard for tab washer dimensions.

Steel washers resist wear better than 316 stainless steel, but aren’t as corrosion resistant.

316 stainless steel washers are more corrosion resistant than steel, and nearly as strong. You can expose them to salt water, chlorine solutions, and chemicals without any rusting.
