Technical Specifications of DIN 126 Washers
DIN 126 is a standard that defines the dimensions and characteristics of flat washers. These washers are an integral part of any fastening joint. They have the shape of a flat ring with a hole in the center and are used to distribute the pressure from a nut or bolt over a larger contact area. This prevents material damage and ensures a more secure fastening.
Key characteristics of DIN 126 washers:
- Shape: Flat, with an inner hole sized to fit the bolt or nut.
- Material: Typically made of steel, but can also be made of other materials such as stainless steel, brass, or aluminum.
- Thickness: Depends on the washer diameter and intended use.
- Coating: Can be galvanized, phosphated, or have other types of coatings for corrosion protection.
Dimensions of DIN 126 Flat Washers
The dimensions of DIN 126 washers are standardized and depend on the diameter of the bolt or nut with which they are used. The main parameters that characterize the size of the washer are:
- Inner diameter: Corresponds to the diameter of the bolt or nut.
- Outer diameter: Determines the overall size of the washer.
- Thickness: Depends on the diameter and intended use of the washer.
Strength Class of DIN 126 Flat Washers
DIN 126 washers are made of various materials and have different strength classes. This means they can withstand different loads. The choice of strength class depends on the operating conditions of the joint.
Fastener Group DIN 126
DIN 126 washers belong to the group of fasteners. They are always used in conjunction with bolts or screws, and their main function is to ensure even load distribution and protect the surface from damage.
Materials for Manufacturing DIN 126
DIN 126 washers are most often made of steel. Steel provides high strength and durability. However, depending on the operating conditions, other materials can be used, such as:
- Stainless steel: For use in aggressive environments or where corrosion resistance is important.
- Brass: Provides good corrosion resistance and has a high decorative value.
- Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant material.
Application of DIN 126
DIN 126 washers are widely used in various industries and construction. They are used for:
- Joining metal structures: In mechanical engineering, metal structures, construction.
- Equipment installation: For fastening various equipment components.
- Automotive industry: For joining automotive parts.
- Furniture industry: For joining furniture components.
- Construction: For fastening various structures.
Advantages of using DIN 126 washers:
- Prevent surface damage: Distribute the load over a larger area.
- Increase joint strength: Prevent the nut or bolt from turning.
- Protect against corrosion: Some washers have special coatings.
- Improve appearance: Can have various coatings and finishes.
Selection of DIN 126 washers
When selecting DIN 126 washers, the following factors should be considered:
- Diameter of the bolt or nut.
- Material of the parts being joined.
- Operating conditions (load, environment).
- Requirements for strength and corrosion resistance.
DIN 126 washers are an important fastening element that ensures the reliability and durability of joints. The correct selection of washers allows you to avoid problems associated with loosening of the fastener or damage to parts.
