Starlock® cap locking washers: A complete range for a variety of applications with foolproof protection

Starlock® cap locking washers are renowned for their versatility and adaptability to both metric and imperial applications. Depending on the specification required, you can opt for standard metric parts in bronze-coloured spring steel or standard imperial parts in blue-coloured spring steel. To ensure a high standard of finish, all parts are carefully coated with a thin layer of varnish.

Optimum resistance and protection

It is important to note that although this surface finish does not protect against corrosion in all environments, it offers adequate protection in most dry conditions. However, when you’re looking for more robust corrosion protection, you can opt for a mechanical zinc finish, which is widely recognised as an effective solution for avoiding the negative effects of hydrogen embrittlement. If you have specific corrosion protection requirements, other surface finishes are available on request.

However, for applications requiring a high level of corrosion resistance, Starlock® stainless steel cap washers are the perfect answer. Thanks to their stainless steel composition, these fasteners offer maximum durability and protection in corrosive environments.

A cap to enhance aesthetics

A distinctive feature of Starlock® washers is the option of adding a cap to conceal the fastener and enhance the visual appearance of the assembly. The standard cap is made from stainless steel, offering durable protection against corrosion and the elements. The height of the cap dome has been carefully designed to allow sufficient penetration of the stem through the Starlock® fastener, ensuring maximum grip. You can find this product without the cap here.

In conclusion, Starlock® cap lock washers provide a complete range of assembly solutions for metric and imperial applications. The choice of spring steel with surface finishes tailored to specific requirements ensures corrosion protection in a wide variety of environments.

Whether used in construction or to hold components in household appliances, Starlock® cap lock washers provide an effective and durable solution.
