What are Industrial Washers?
Washers are small, flat discs used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, including nuts and bolts. They provide smooth finishes and prevent the fastener from loosening. Metal washers diminish damage to the mating surface and enhance the overall performance and stability of the fastened joint.Types of Metal Washers
Denali Industrial Supply offers many types of washer hardware for various applications across multiple industries.Flat Washers
Flat washers are the most common metal washer used for general-purpose applications. They have a simple, flat design with a hole in the center. Their design distributes the force over a larger surface area, which reduces damage to the material underneath.Lock Washers
Lock washers are designed to keep a bolt or fastener from becoming loose by “locking” it into place. Lock washers counteract vibrations and prevent the fastener from moving. They come in various forms, which include split washers, toothed washers, and serrated washers. Lock washers are often used in automotive, machinery, and construction applications where secure fastening is crucial.Beveled Washers
Beveled washers are sloped on one side, compensating for angular misalignments between the fastener and its mating surface. Beveled washers protect objects from intense force or weight by distributing the load over an increased surface area. They are commonly used in structural applications, such as connecting steel beams or timber joints.Finishing Washers
Finishing washers are compatible with countersunk screws and provide insulation and damage protection for fasteners. They are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They are commonly used with furniture, woodworking, and other applications where aesthetics are essential.Bonded Sealing Washers
Bonded sealing washers have a neoprene seal, giving them extra durability and making them ideal for applications that require stronger seals. They create watertight seals ideal for plumbing, automotive, and other industrial applications involving pipes or leakage.Square Washers
Square washers are flat and square in shape. Their larger surface area allows them to prevent rotation, resist corrosion, and diminish vibrations. Their durability aids in preventing fasteners from pulling through softer materials. Square washers are commonly found in construction and woodworking applications.Dock Washers
Also known as fender washers, dock washers are flat, thick metal washers with a much larger surface area than standard flat washers. Their large surface area distributes the load, provides more stability, and prevents damage to softer materials. Dock washers are ideal for construction, marine, and heavy-duty applications.Other Washers
Other washers include hillside washers, hose washers, and rubber grommets. These washers cater to specific industry requirements, including automotive, electronic, and manufacturing applications.
