Spherical Washers.

What are Spherical Washers?

Spherical Washers are specially designed components that compensate for angular misalignment between connected parts in an assembly. Their unique curved design allows them to evenly distribute loads, reducing stress on fasteners and improving overall stability.

How Spherical Washers Work

Spherical Washers consist of two interlocking pieces: a concave washer and a convex washer. Together, they adjust to the angle of misaligned surfaces, creating a stable and even contact area. This feature makes them ideal for applications where precision alignment is challenging, such as in heavy machinery or structural assemblies.

The Materials Our Spherical Washers Made From

These washers are manufactured from A4 Stainless Steel and A2 Stainless Steel, offering distinct benefits:

• A4 Stainless Steel: Exceptional corrosion resistance, suitable for marine or chemically harsh environments.
• A2 Stainless Steel: Versatile and durable, ideal for general-purpose use in various industries.

Both materials provide strength and reliability, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding conditions.

The Sizes and Types of Spherical Washers Available

Spherical Washers are available in thread sizes ranging from M6 to M48, accommodating a wide range of bolt sizes and load requirements. Their compatibility with large fasteners makes them suitable for heavy-duty applications, while smaller sizes cater to precision engineering needs.

FAQs

Q: Why Use Spherical Washers Instead of Flat Washers?
A; Spherical Washers are specifically designed to correct misalignment in assemblies, ensuring even load distribution and reducing stress on fasteners, which flat washers cannot achieve.

Q: What Applications Are Spherical Washers Best Suited For?
A: These washers are ideal for heavy machinery, structural connections and assemblies involving uneven or angled surfaces where proper alignment is critical.

Q: How Do A4 and A2 Stainless Steels Compare for Spherical Washers?
A: A4 Stainless Steel is highly resistant to corrosion and is ideal for marine and chemically aggressive environments, while A2 Stainless Steel offers durability and general-purpose resistance for most standard applications.
