M6 Spring Washers Stainless Steel

• These spring washers ring-shaped, split at one point and bent into a helix.
• This shape means that the washer exerts a spring force between the fastener's head and the base item.
• The main purpose of the spring washer is to prevent loosening of the fastener by either movement or vibration.
• They are available with a square or rectangular section.
• These washers are made from stainless steel 304 (A2) or 316 (A4) for increased corrosion resistance.

APPLICATION
Ideal for all manner of bolting applications where movement or vibration may cause loosening. Typical examples would be engineering and machinery.
Can be used with all types of bolts and nuts.

Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor air-circulation environments. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure. Stainless steel is used where both the properties or steel and corrosion resistance are required.
