Reliable locking with toothed lock washers

When assembling bolts and nuts, it is essential to prevent loosening due to vibrations. Toothed lock washers with external teeth, such as the DIN 6798A M14, offer an effective solution. They ensure a firm connection and increase the reliability of your constructions.

Specifications of the M14 lock washer

• Inner diameter (d1): 15 mm
• Outer diameter (d2): 24 mm
• Thickness (s1): 1 mm
• Height (h): ~3 mm
• Material: Spring steel
• Surface treatment: Electrolytically galvanized

These dimensions and material choice make the washer suitable for various applications where an M14 bolt or nut is used.

Advantages of electrolytic galvanizing

Electrolytic galvanizing offers several advantages:

• Corrosion resistance: The zinc layer protects against rust, extending the washer's lifespan.
• Aesthetic appearance: The shiny finish gives your assembly a neat look.
• Compatibility: Suitable for use with other galvanized fasteners, preventing galvanic corrosion.

Applications in the automotive sector

Reliability is crucial in the automotive industry. Toothed lock washers are often used in:

• Engine mounts: To absorb engine vibrations and prevent bolts from loosening.
• Suspension systems: Where constant movement and load occur.
• Brake systems: Where safety and reliability are of great importance.

Installation tips for optimal performance

For effective functioning of the lock washer:

• Placement: Ensure the teeth make full contact with the surface for maximum grip.
• Tightening torque: Use the correct tightening torque to avoid damaging the washer or fastener.
• Combination: Use the washer in combination with matching bolts and nuts for an optimal connection.

By following these guidelines, you ensure a durable and reliable assembly.
