Securpak Zinc Plated Spring Washers
Securpak Zinc Plated Spring Washers – M6, M8, M10 (Various Pack Sizes)
High-Performance Fastening Support for Secure, Vibration-Resistant Assemblies
The Securpak Zinc Plated Spring Washers are essential components for any fastening application that demands secure locking performance under dynamic stress or vibration. These spring washers, available in multiple sizes including M6 (Pack of 30), M8 (Pack of 20), and M10 (Pack of 15), are specifically engineered to provide axial resistance and maintain tension in bolted joints—making them ideal for use in mechanical assemblies, construction, automotive, electrical enclosures, and more.
Each washer is manufactured from durable steel and coated with a zinc-plated finish, offering both mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Their spring-like design enables them to exert continuous pressure, effectively counteracting loosening forces that result from thermal expansion, vibration, or torque fluctuations.

Key Features
Effective Vibration Resistance
Designed to provide a resilient axial load that maintains tension on bolts or screws, effectively reducing the risk of loosening in high-vibration environments.
Zinc-Plated Protection
Zinc coating offers enhanced durability and resistance against rust and corrosion, making the washers suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications.
Spring Tension Design
The helical shape of the washer compresses when tightened, producing a spring effect that counters rotational forces.
Multiple Sizes and Quantities
Available in common metric sizes (M6, M8, and M10) to support a wide range of fastening needs—from electronics to industrial equipment.
Versatile Use Cases
Widely used in construction, mechanical engineering, maintenance work, electrical installations, and vehicle assembly.
Applications
Machinery assembly and repair
Electrical panels and enclosures
Automotive repair and manufacturing
Heavy equipment and structural bolting
DIY mechanical and home improvement projects
Installation Tips
Pair the spring washer with a matching metric screw or bolt (M6, M8, or M10).
Position the washer between the fastener head and the surface or component.
Tighten securely to compress the washer and activate the spring load.
Use in conjunction with flat washers if needed for surface protection.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the function of a spring washer?
A spring washer applies a continuous axial force to maintain tension on a fastener, preventing loosening caused by vibration, movement, or thermal expansion.
Q: Can I use these washers outdoors?
The zinc plating offers moderate corrosion resistance, suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. For harsh or marine environments, stainless steel alternatives may be more appropriate.
Q: Are these compatible with all types of bolts?
These spring washers are compatible with metric bolts or screws in sizes M6, M8, or M10, depending on the variant. Ensure the washer size matches the bolt thread diameter.
Q: Do I need a flat washer as well?
In applications where surface protection or load distribution is needed, it is recommended to pair a spring washer with a flat washer.
Q: What’s the difference between spring washers and standard washers?
Unlike flat washers, which distribute load, spring washers provide a locking action through tension and resistance, helping prevent the fastener from loosening.
Conclusion
The Securpak Zinc Plated Spring Washers deliver dependable, long-lasting performance in applications where fastener integrity is critical. Whether you’re securing components in a high-vibration setting or need added protection against loosening, these spring washers provide the solution. With corrosion-resistant zinc plating, multiple sizing options, and industrial-grade strength, they are a must-have for professionals and DIY users alike.
