FAQs

What does 'Form A' refer to?

'Form A' designates the standard dimensions of the washer, typically characterized by a wider diameter and thinner thickness compared to other forms, providing a good balance for load distribution.

Are these washers suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the zinc coating provides good resistance to corrosion, making them suitable for many outdoor and marine applications.

What is the primary benefit of using a flat washer?

Flat washers distribute the load of a fastener over a larger surface area, preventing damage to the material being fastened and helping to prevent loosening.

What standards do these washers meet?

These washers are manufactured to DIN 125-1A, ISO 7089, and NEN 2269A standards.

Can these washers be used with any type of bolt?

They are designed for standard M36 bolts and nuts. Compatibility with non-standard fasteners should be verified.

How do I clean these washers if they get dirty?

For general dirt, a soft brush or a damp cloth can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the zinc coating.

What is the material of the washers?

The washers are made from high-quality steel with a protective zinc coating.

Troubleshooting

Washer does not fit bolt correctly

Verify the bolt size and ensure it matches the inner diameter specified for the M36 Form A washer. Check that the fastener type is standard.

Signs of rust or corrosion appearing

While zinc-coated, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can eventually cause corrosion. For critical applications, consider specialized coatings or more frequent inspection. Clean lightly with a soft brush.

Fastener still loosening despite washer use

Ensure the washer is correctly seated and the nut/bolt is adequately tightened. For extreme vibration, consider using locking nuts or thread-locking compounds in conjunction with the washer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion and wear resistance due to zinc coating.
  • Ensures even load distribution, protecting surfaces.
  • Effectively reduces vibration and prevents loosening of fasteners.
  • Manufactured to recognized international standards for reliability.
  • Suitable for a wide range of general-purpose and demanding applications.

Cons

  • Form A dimensions may not be compatible with all specialized bolt/nut combinations.
  • Zinc coating may wear off over extended periods of extreme abrasion.
  • Not designed for extreme temperature or chemical resistance beyond typical outdoor/marine use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These washers are designed for direct application between a nut or bolt head and the surface being fastened. Ensure the washer's inner diameter is compatible with the bolt size.

Compatibility: Form A flat washers are designed to fit standard nuts and bolts conforming to DIN 125 standards. They are compatible with M36 size fasteners. While versatile for general-purpose applications, always verify dimensions if using with non-standard or specialized hardware.

Care: Due to their zinc coating, minimal care is required for standard use. Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or alkaline environments that can degrade the coating over time. For maintenance, ensure fasteners remain tightened to prevent stress on the washer. If used in a marine environment, periodic inspection for any signs of corrosion is recommended.
