Flat and Grower washers for industrial fasteners

When it comes to industrial fasteners, the choice of washers plays an essential role in ensuring the safety and durability of assemblies. Two types of washer stand out in particular: flat washers and Grower washers. Each offers unique features to meet specific needs in terms of load distribution and loosening prevention.

Flat washers : for corrosion-prone environments

Flat washers play a crucial role in evenly distributing the load exerted by screws and nuts on surfaces. They prevent deformation and cracking under pressure, making them ideal for a variety of construction and mechanical engineering applications. Made of aluminum, they offer lightness, corrosion resistance comparable to that of stainless steel, and good electrical conductivity, although care should be taken when using them to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Grower washers : for vibration-prone environments

On the other hand, Grower washers are specifically designed to prevent bolt loosening in vibration-prone environments. Their cut, spring-like structure enables them to anchor firmly in the workpiece. The result is a strong, durable fastening. Available in a range of sizes, they improve clamping efficiency by absorbing shock and vibration, guaranteeing enhanced safety in industry and mechanical engineering.

To maximize the efficiency of your assemblies, it’s crucial to choose between flat and lock washers according to the specific needs of each application.
