M16 Washer - 25 Nos

Flat washers (DIN 125 / ISO 7089) are thin disc-shaped plates with a central hole that distribute clamping load across a wider bearing surface in bolted assemblies. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminium.

Dimension #

• All dimensions in mm, tolerance +/- 0.01 mm. Additional dimensions available on request.

Benefits #

Flat washers solve several engineering problems in bolted joints. They spread the clamping force from a bolt or nut over a larger area, reducing bearing stress on the joint material and preventing surface indentation or crushing, particularly on soft substrates such as aluminium, timber, or plastics. The smooth bearing surface allows the nut to rotate freely during tightening without scoring the joint face. In assemblies where the bolt hole is oversized or slotted, a flat washer bridges the gap and maintains proper load transfer. They also compensate for minor surface irregularities, ensuring more uniform preload distribution. Flat washers are inexpensive, require no special tooling, and are compatible with virtually every bolted connection across mechanical, structural, and electrical applications.

Common Applications #

Flat washers are used across mechanical, structural, and electrical assemblies where reliable load distribution is required.

• General bolted and screwed assemblies
• Structural steel connections
• Machinery and equipment assembly
• Automotive engine and chassis components
• Electrical panel mounting
• Pipe flange connections
