Medium Split Lock Washer Gr 18.8 Stainless Steel

Overview

• The Medium Split Lock Washer from BoltCraft is crafted with precision to deliver effective locking action that prevents loosening due to vibrations and torque. Made from high-quality 18-8 stainless steel, this washer is designed to withstand harsh conditions without compromising its integrity.

Applications & Advantages

• Specifically suitable for applications involving stainless steel nuts and screws, ensuring compatibility and corrosion resistance.
• The helical shape provides continuous pressure and significantly increases the friction between the bolt and nut, preventing loosening caused by vibration.
• Ideal for use in environments where exposure to water, chemicals, or other corrosive elements is common, maintaining its locking capabilities over time.

Material & Specifications

• Constructed from austenitic 18-8 stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
• The washer undergoes a rigorous twist test to ensure its resilience and ability to maintain structural integrity under stress.

Reliability & Performance

• The split design creates a spring-like effect, applying consistent load and ensuring effective bolt tension for a secure fit.
• Compatible with Grade-5 and Grade-8 bolts and nuts, providing versatile application across various industries, including marine, chemical, and outdoor construction.

Testing & Compliance

• Each washer is subjected to a twist test, where it must withstand a 90° bend without fracturing, indicating its quality and toughness.
• The fine grain structure at the breaking point of the test signifies the high-quality material and manufacturing process used in its production.
