Insulation Washers | Electrical insulation, machinery | Material: Polypropylene (ASTM D790 flexural modulus 1000 psi ▲) Insulation Resistance: 10¹² Ω (ASTM D257) Customizable Thread: ISO 2768 ▲ Surface Finish: Ra 0.8 µm (ISO 4287) | Excellent insulation, lightweight, customizable thread sizes, cost-effective | Lower load capacity (max 1500 N), limited to 100°C, not corrosion-resistant without coating |
Flat Washers | General mechanical load distribution | Material: Steel (ASTM A194) Thickness: 2.0 mm (ASME B18.21.1) Surface Finish: Zinc Plated (ASTM B695) | High load capacity (5000 N+), durable, widely available | No insulation, heavier, may corrode without coating (salt spray test: 500 hours max) |
Spring Washers | Vibration-resistant fastening | Material: Steel (ASTM A240) Spring Force: 50 N/mm (ISO 7999) Thickness: 1.5 mm | Effective against vibration, reusable, maintains tension (3000 N preload) | May wear out over time, not insulating, limited to -40°C to 120°C |
Lock Washers (Split) | Secure fasteners in high-vibration | Material: Steel (ASTM A194) Split Design: 15° angle (ISO 7089) | Prevents loosening (95% retention under 50 Hz vibration), durable | Not insulating, may damage threads, limited to M6–M24 thread sizes |
High-Temperature Washers | High-temperature machinery | Material: Ceramic (ASTM C314) Temp Resistance: Up to 600°C (ISO 1371-1) Chemical Resistance: ASTM C702 | Withstands extreme temps, chemically inert (resists sulfuric acid @ 98%) | Brittle (impact strength: 0.5 MPa), expensive, less customizable |
Corrosion-Resistant Washers | Corrosive environments | Material: Stainless Steel 316 (ASTM A182) Passivation: ASTM A967 Thickness: 3.0 mm (ASME B16.5) | Superior corrosion resistance (ASTM B117: 1000+ hours salt spray) | Higher cost (2x steel), heavier, less flexible in customization |
