Washers
Washers are a type of fastening product used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener, such as a bolt or screw, across a larger surface area. Washers help prevent damage to the fastening surface while increasing the stability and strength of the connection. There are several styles of washers, including flat, lock, and spring washers, each designed for specific industrial applications. Washers are available in many different materials, including metals like steel, stainless steel, and brass, as well as non-metallic materials like nylon and plastic. Application requirements, such as corrosion resistance, strength, or temperature resistance, typically determine the choice of washer material. Washers are an essential component for many industrial fastening applications.

They are often used in general-purpose applications requiring a strong and stable joint.
- Lock Washers: Lock washers are designed to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening due to vibration or other factors. They come in several styles, including split-lock washers and toothed washers, and are commonly used in automotive and machinery applications.
