Skew washers

Skew washers - are hardware products with an asymmetrical shape, which are used for placing under nuts and bolt heads. The asymmetric shape of the slanted washers allows you to use them in those cases when the fastening is not located parallel to the head of the fastening of the product, for example, the head of bolts. Thus, the oblique washer serves as an element for aligning the fastener.

Design features of skew washers

Let's consider the design of the puck with a slant in two projections - from above and from the side. From above, the scythe washer has a rectangular or square shape, there is a hole in the center and two grooves on both sides of it. From the side, the skew washer has a wedge-shaped appearance.

For a scew washer, the standards prescribe four main parameters:
• the side of the square (if the washer is scew square);
• length / width of the rectangle (if the scew washer is rectangular);
• diameter of the internal hole;
• wedge slope.

Peculiarities of the work of the scythe washer
The wedge-shaped shape of these washers allows you to reliably bring the uneven location of the fastener to the required level. A scew washer reduces the load on the threaded connection and prevents it from spinning. Unwinding is prevented by grooves (grooves) on both sides of the inner hole.
