Lock washer with nose DIN 432 M8 / 8.4 zinc

Product detailed description

The lock washer with an external nose according to DIN 432, also known as ČSN 02 1753 and ISO 2342, is a specific type of fastener designed to secure a joint against loosening. This washer is made of steel and is electroplated, which increases its corrosion resistance and extends its service life in harsh conditions. Galvanizing is a process in which a layer of zinc is applied to the surface of the steel, which serves as a protective barrier against oxidation and corrosion.

The washer has an internal diameter of 8.4 mm, which is suitable for use with M8 screws and threads. The external nose on the washer serves to prevent the washer from rotating during assembly and ensures the stability of the connection. This design is particularly useful in applications where there is vibration or dynamic loading that could cause standard connections to loosen.

The external nose lock washer is part of a category of self-locking elements that are designed to increase the safety and reliability of mechanical connections. It is widely used in engineering, automotive and other industries where a strong and permanent connection is required. Due to its design and material properties, it provides a high level of protection against loosening, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity and functionality of the entire system.
