What is a body washer?

A body washer is a flat ring with a large outer diameter that is used in combination with bolts and nuts. They ensure an even distribution of pressure over the fastened material, which is essential to prevent damage or deformation.

Specifications of the M12x36x2.0 mm body washer

• Inner diameter: 12.5 mm

• Material: Stainless steel (A2)

These dimensions make the washer suitable for M12 bolts and nuts, ensuring a strong and reliable connection.

Advantages of using this body washer

• Even pressure distribution: Prevents damage to the material by spreading the load over a larger surface area.
• Protection of the fastened material: Reduces the risk of deformation, especially with thin or fragile materials.
• Corrosion resistance: The use of A2 stainless steel provides high resistance to rust, extending the lifespan of the connection.

Applications

This body washer is ideal for various applications, including:

• Automotive sector: Fastening of body parts and other components.
• Construction sector: Reinforcement of joints in wood and metal structures.
• Machine building: Ensures stable and durable fastenings in machines and equipment.

Installation tips

• Choose the right size: Make sure the inner diameter of the washer matches the diameter of the bolt or nut.
• Use with fragile materials: For thin sheets or soft materials, the body washer provides extra support and prevents deformation.
• Check the environment: In humid or corrosive environments, the use of A2 stainless steel is recommended for a longer lifespan.

Maintenance and durability

Thanks to the stainless steel material, this body washer requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection for wear or damage is sufficient to ensure the reliability of the connection.
