Advantages of Flat Washers

They may seem simple, but a flat washer plays two vital roles. First, they distribute the pressure of a screw or nut evenly, so that they are less likely to loosen, and second, they act as a smooth barrier between steel screws and aluminum surfaces to reduce wear and tear. They can also be used when the hole is a larger diameter than the fixing nut. Flat washers are used in many instances—from smaller objects like desks, chairs, and computers to larger applications like vehicles, architecture, and even spacecraft. Our flat washers are available in many different sizes and materials, such as nylon, copper, brass, plastic, stainless steel, rubber, and more. Choose high-quality flat washers for any application with Heatfastener.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main role of flat washers is to increase the size of a screw’s bearing surface area, and reduce the surface pressure applied on the fastened object. Looseness can result when the bearing surface sinks under the surface pressure, so using a flat washer to reduce the surface pressure is very effective.

A fender washer is a flat washer with a larger outer diameter in proportion to its center hole. They are made from a thinner gauge metal than most flat washers and are designed to spread the load on thin sheet metal. Interestingly, they are named after their use on automobile fenders

Also known as plain washers, their purpose is to distribute the fastener’s load while reducing heat and friction during the tightening process. They can also be used as spacers, as is common in industrial and domestic applications. Flat washers are also called on to provide electrical insulation.

When used correctly, a lock washer will hold the nut or other threaded fastener in place. To help it accomplish this, put the lock washer on first, below the fastener. If your project calls for other washers or hardware elements, they should go on before the lock washer so that it can hold them in place.
