Key Features and Benefits

1. Effective Load Distribution

Designed to evenly distribute the load of a fastener, reducing stress concentration on the material surface.

Helps prevent damage such as indentation, cracking, or deformation around bolt or screw heads and nuts.

2. Heat and Friction Reduction

Zinc plating provides a smooth surface that reduces friction during tightening.

Minimizes heat buildup caused by torque application, which can improve the tightening process and protect the integrity of fasteners and materials.

3. Corrosion Resistance

The zinc plating forms a protective barrier that guards against rust and corrosion.

Suitable for use in indoor environments and moderately exposed outdoor conditions.

4. Versatility and Compatibility

Specifically sized to fit M5 bolts and screws, making them ideal for use in machinery, automotive, construction, and general repair applications.

Compatible with a wide range of materials including wood, metal, plastics, and composites.

5. Bulk Pack Convenience

The pack of 80 washers ensures you have an ample supply for multiple projects, repairs, or maintenance tasks.

Ideal for workshops, industrial use, and home toolkits.

Typical Applications

Securing bolts and screws in machinery and equipment assembly.

Reinforcing fastener joints in automotive repair and maintenance.

Distributing load in construction fixtures such as brackets, fittings, and frames.

Enhancing fastening stability in woodworking and furniture assembly.

General maintenance and repair tasks requiring durable, reliable washers.

Installation Tips

Select washers matching the diameter of your M5 fasteners to ensure proper fit.

Place the washer between the fastener head or nut and the surface to protect the material and distribute load.

Use appropriate tools to tighten fasteners evenly, avoiding over-tightening that can deform washers or fasteners.

Inspect washers periodically in applications exposed to vibration or environmental factors.
