SS Round Washer
SS Round Washer
SS Round Washers are precision-engineered flat circular components with a central hole, used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener such as a bolt or nut. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, these washers are ideal for applications requiring durability, strength, and resistance to rust and environmental conditions.
Function:
-
The primary function of an SS round washer is to evenly distribute the load of a threaded fastener (bolt or nut) over a larger surface area .
-
It protects the surface material (metal, wood, or plastic) from getting scratched, dented, or deformed when tightening a fastener.
-
It maintains a small gap or space between components, which helps in alignment and prevents direct metal-to-metal contact
-
SS washers add a protective layer between the joint and the environment, preventing rust or corrosion of the fastened material.
-
In some assemblies, round washers help create a better seal to prevent leakage of liquids or gases.
Advantages:
-
Made from stainless steel, these washers resist rust even in humid or marine environments.
-
Stainless steel provides excellent mechanical strength, ensuring long-lasting performance under high stress or load conditions.
-
Bright and polished finish gives a clean, professional look, ideal for exposed or decorative assemblies.
-
Once installed, SS washers require minimal upkeep due to their self-protective chromium oxide layer.
-
Used across multiple industries — construction, automotive, electrical, marine, machinery, and more .
