What is a body washer?

A body washer, also known as a roundel or fender washer, is a flat washer with a large outer diameter used in combination with bolts and nuts. These washers provide better pressure distribution on the material, preventing damage and deformation.

Specifications of the M5x20x1.25 mm body washer

• Inner diameter: 5 mm
• Outer diameter: 20 mm

• Standard: DIN 9021

Benefits of using this body washer

• Optimal pressure distribution: The large outer diameter ensures even distribution of pressure over the material, reducing the risk of damage.
• Material protection: Prevents the head of the bolt or nut from coming into direct contact with the material, avoiding scratches and dents.
• Increased stability: Provides a stronger and more reliable connection, especially for thin or fragile materials.

Applications of the M5x20x1.25 mm body washer

This body washer is suitable for various applications, including:

• Automotive sector: Fastening of body parts and other components where even pressure distribution is essential.
• Construction sector: Used in wood and metal constructions to maintain the integrity of the material.
• Machine building: Fastening of parts where vibrations and loads play a role.

Why choose galvanized steel?

Galvanized steel offers excellent protection against corrosion, making these body washers suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The zinc layer extends the lifespan of the washer and ensures reliable performance under various conditions.

Importance of the DIN 9021 standard

The DIN 9021 standard ensures that the body washer meets specific dimensions and tolerances, providing consistency and reliability in applications. Using standardized washers contributes to the safety and durability of constructions.
