STAINLESS STEEL SPRING WASHER SS304

More info

This Stainless Steel Spring Washer (SS304 Grade) is a premium locking fastener designed to combine anti-vibration security with superior corrosion resistance. Featuring a helical-split design, this washer provides a continuous spring force that prevents bolts and nuts from loosening due to mechanical vibration or thermal cycling.

## Technical Specifications

Feature	Description
Material	Stainless Steel 304 (A2 Grade)
Type	Helical Spring Lock Washer
Finish	Bright / Polished Stainless Steel
Function	Anti-vibration locking with high oxidation resistance
Standard	Conforms to DIN 127B or equivalent international standards

### Key Features

High Corrosion Resistance: Manufactured from SS304 grade stainless steel, making it ideal for use in wet, outdoor, or mildly chemical environments without the risk of rust.
Elastic Tensioning: The helical split acts as a spring, exerting a constant upward pressure against the fastener head to maintain clamping force.
Mechanical Lock: The sharp edges of the split section "bite" into both the fastener and the mounting surface, providing a mechanical barrier against counter-rotation.
Non-Magnetic Properties: SS304 is generally non-magnetic (or only slightly magnetic after cold working), making it suitable for sensitive electronic and medical equipment.

### Common Applications

Marine & Coastal Hardware: Excellent for boat fittings, docks, and coastal infrastructure where salt air would corrode standard steel.
Food & Beverage Processing: Ideal for machinery in hygienic environments due to its easy-to-clean, rust-proof surface.
Outdoor Solar & Electrical: Used in solar panel racking and outdoor electrical enclosures to ensure long-term stability against the elements.
Automotive & Aerospace: Employed in assemblies requiring lightweight, rust-resistant locking solutions that can withstand temperature fluctuations.

Note: For maximum service life in highly corrosive environments (such as direct saltwater immersion or heavy chemical exposure), Grade 316 stainless steel may be preferred, though SS304 is the standard for general-purpose stainless fastening.
