Plochá podložka, as an indispensable fastener in connection structures, have significant characteristics and wide applications. The following is a detailed explanation of the characteristics and uses of flat washer 

Characteristics of Flat Washer  

Diversity: There are various types of washers, including but not limited to flat washers, spring washers, locking washers, corrugated washers, conical washers, etc. Each type of washer has its unique shape, material, and purpose.

Materials vary: flat washer can be made of various materials such as metal (such as steel, copper, aluminum, etc.), rubber, plastic, asbestos, etc., to adapt to different working environments and performance requirements.

Simple structure but powerful function: Plochá podložka are usually simple in structure but can play a key role in connecting structures, such as dispersing pressure, preventing loosening, filling space, and preventing electrochemical corrosion.

Easy to install and replace: The installation and replacement of flat washer are usually relatively simple, without the need for complex tools or equipment, and are easy to maintain and upkeep.

The Purpose of the Flat Washer  

Disperse pressure: When tightening bolts, nuts, and other fasteners, washers can disperse the pressure generated by the fasteners on the surface of the connected parts, preventing damage or deformation of the connected parts due to excessive local pressure. This characteristic is particularly important in fields such as precision machinery and high-voltage equipment.

Prevent loosening: The washer enhances the stability of the connection by increasing the friction between the connecting parts, preventing bolts or nuts from loosening due to vibration, impact, and other reasons. This function is particularly critical in fields such as transportation and aerospace that require high reliability.

Sealing performance: Sealing flat washer  play a crucial role in pipeline systems, valves, pumps, and other equipment, effectively preventing the leakage of liquids or gases and ensuring the normal operation of the system. At the same time, in situations where high sealing is required, such as chemical reactors, vacuum systems, etc., flat washer are also indispensable components.

Adjusting pre tightening force: By changing the thickness or material of the washer, the pre tightening force of the bolt connection can be adjusted to a certain extent to meet different engineering requirements. This feature has important application value in fields such as precision equipment and heavy machinery.

Preventing electrochemical corrosion: In humid or corrosive environments, non-metallic flat washer (such as rubber pads, plastic pads, etc.) can serve as isolation layers to prevent electrochemical corrosion caused by direct contact between metals and extend the service life of equipment.

In summary, flat washer play an important role in various fields such as mechanical manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, and chemical engineering due to their diversity, diverse materials, powerful functions, and easy installation and replacement. With the continuous advancement of technology and the expansion of application fields, the types and performance of flat washer will also be continuously optimized and improved.
