Application and functionality

Body washers are used in combination with bolts and nuts to distribute pressure evenly over a larger surface area. This prevents damage to the material and increases the stability of the connection. The body washer M14x42x3.0 mm is ideal for applications where a strong and reliable fastening is required.

Specifications

• Inner diameter: 14 mm
• Outer diameter: 42 mm
• Thickness: 3.0 mm
• Standard: DIN 9021

Material selection

These body washers are available in various materials, including:

• Stainless steel (A2): Suitable for use in humid environments thanks to its corrosion resistance.
• Galvanized steel: Provides good protection against rust and is suitable for general applications.

Advantages of body washers

• Protection of materials: Prevents surface damage when tightening bolts and nuts.
• Improved pressure distribution: Spreads the clamping force over a larger area, increasing the strength of the connection.
• Versatility: Suitable for various applications in the automotive sector and other industries.

Areas of application

Body washers are widely used in:

• Automotive sector: For mounting body parts and other components.
• Construction sector: In structures where a strong and reliable connection is required.
• Mechanical engineering: For fastening parts where even pressure distribution is essential.

Installation instructions

1. Place the body washer over the bolt, against the material to be fastened.
2. Tighten the nut until the desired tension is reached.
3. Check that the washer is correctly positioned and the pressure is evenly distributed.

By using the right body washer, you ensure a durable and safe connection in your constructions.
