M16 Spring Lock Washers DIN 127B – Rectangular Section, Bright Zinc Plated

Rectangular-section spring lock washers engineered to DIN 127B, providing secure vibration-resistant fastening across metric sizes M16–M22.

Key Benefits & Features

• Manufactured to DIN 127B specifications for consistent dimensions and performance.
• Rectangular-section coil delivers firm locking action to resist loosening under vibration or dynamic loads.
• High-grade spring steel hardened to 140 HV offers resilience and long service life.
• Bright zinc plated (BZP) for corrosion resistance and a clean, professional finish.
• Wide size range from M16 to M22; inner diameters 3.1–18.2 mm with matching outer diameters 6.2–29.4 mm.
• Suitable for automotive, engineering, construction and DIY applications where secure fastening is critical.
• Easy to install; helps prevent leakage, isolates joints and resists pressure dispersion.

Use Cases

• Preventing bolt or nut loosening in machinery, engines and vibrating assemblies
• Securing structural joints in construction and civil engineering
• Automotive repairs, especially on components subject to vibration
• Equipment maintenance and general engineering projects
• DIY workshop tasks requiring reliable locking washers

Compatibility / Fittings

• Fits standard metric bolts and screws of the same nominal diameter (M16–M22).
• Suitable for use with nuts and threaded inserts; ensure matching grade and finish for best performance.
• Compatible with flat washers (Form A/B/C) when additional load distribution is required.

Installation & Tips

• Select the washer size that matches the bolt’s nominal diameter (e.g. M8 washer for an M8 bolt).
• Place the washer between the bolt head or nut and the material to be secured; ensure correct orientation for rectangular-section coils.
• For high-vibration applications, combine with appropriate thread-locking nuts or adhesives.
• Do not exceed recommended torque values for the bolt to avoid damaging the washer.
• Use with matching bright zinc plated bolts and nuts to maintain corrosion resistance.
