Washers

Washers are thin, flat discs typically made of metal, plastic, or rubber, used to distribute the load of a fastener like a screw or nut and to provide a smooth bearing surface. Types of washers include spring washers, flat washers, locking washers, countersunk washers and square washers. They are commonly used in various applications to prevent loosening of nuts and bolts, protect surfaces from damage, reduce friction, and act as spacers. Common standards for washers include ISO 7089 for general-purpose washers, ANSI/ASME B18.22.1 for flat washers, and DIN 125 for flat washers in Germany. Well-known manufacturers like Norelem, Fabory and Bossard, along with other leading manufacturers, offer their 3D CAD models on 3Dfindit, including washers.
