RS PRO range of plain, white, metric nylon washers in sizes M2 to M12. This RS PRO range of nylon washers are generally used with a machine threaded fastener and nut to spread the load over a greater surface area when tightening a bolt, screw or nut. These washers help prevent wear and distortion of installation surfaces over time whilst reducing heat and friction during the tightening process. These nylon washers provide an excellent inexpensive solution between gland and equipment with electrical insulation and good chemical resistance. They are also non-abrasive and lightweight in comparison to metallic washers made from stainless steel and absorb shock and noise better resulting in less noise when used in equipment. When it comes to tools and fasteners, we know that versatility and dependability are what you need.
Features and Benefits
Plain washers in various sizes - M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, M10 and M12
Made from Nylon to provide electrical insulation and chemical resistance
Designed to work with nuts, bolts, threaded rods and other fixings and fasteners
Applications
RS PRO flat or plain washers are an essential part of any fastener assembly. They decrease the surface load when joining materials, meaning there is less pressure on the material, resulting in a decreased chance of wear and tear over time. You can use them to make maintenance easier by allowing for smoother loosening and tightening of components. Plain or Flat washers are available in different materials, finishes and thicknesses from 0.3 mm to 5 mm. Washers are also available with various inside and outside diameters. Depending on the application and environment, there are specific attributes that must be considered when selecting the correct washer. For example, nylon offers good corrosion resistance and electrical insulation making it suitable for many applications. Other materials include brass, ceramic, steel, stainless steel and zinc plated. Plain washers are commonly used in many electronic, food, chemical and construction applications.
RS PRO washers are important for any fastener assembly, as they serve to incorporate spacing and distribute load when placed between a nut and bolts. These washers will help prevent wear and distortion of installation surfaces over time.
