Key Features:
Shock Absorption and Vibration Resistance
These penny washers are specially designed to maintain axial load on fasteners, preventing loosening due to vibration or dynamic forces.
Spring Force Generation
Their shape and material properties generate a spring-like action that keeps bolts and screws tightly secured.
Zinc Plated for Corrosion Resistance
The zinc plating ensures protection against rust and corrosion, extending washer life even in humid or outdoor environments.
Enhanced Load Distribution
The larger surface area of penny washers spreads the load over a wider area, protecting materials from damage and improving joint stability.
Wide Range of Sizes for Versatile Applications
Available in multiple diameters and pack quantities, these washers suit various fastening needs across industrial, construction, and DIY projects.
Typical Applications:
Automotive and machinery assemblies where vibration is common
Securing structural components in construction and metalwork
Fastening in outdoor equipment and furniture
Maintenance and repair tasks requiring long-lasting, vibration-resistant joints
Electrical and plumbing installations needing stable fastening points
Installation Recommendations:
Use with compatible machine screws or bolts matching the washer size (M6, M8, M10).
Place the penny washer under the nut or bolt head to maximize load distribution and vibration absorption.
Ensure the fastener is tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque for optimal performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: What is the difference between a penny washer and a standard flat washer?
A penny washer typically has a larger outer diameter and a domed or curved shape that allows it to provide a spring force to counter vibrations, unlike flat washers that primarily distribute load.
Q: Can these washers be used outdoors?
Yes, the zinc plating provides good corrosion resistance, suitable for most outdoor environments.
Q: Are these washers reusable?
Yes, penny washers can often be reused if they maintain their shape and integrity after removal.
Q: How do I select the correct washer size?
Choose a washer size that matches the diameter of your bolt or screw (e.g., M6 washer for M6 fasteners) and consider the diameter for the required load distribution.
Summary:
The Securpak Zinc Plated Penny Washers provide a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for enhancing fastening stability in environments subject to vibration and shock. With a variety of sizes and pack quantities, they are ideal for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require reliable, long-lasting fastener assemblies.
