Overview
DIN 6340 Reinforced washer is a fastener that, compared to other types of washers, has an increased thickness, which, together with the high-strength steel from which it is made, allows it to be used under conditions of high static and dynamic loads in such types of equipment as presses and lifting mechanisms or for clamping devices.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 6340 washers
DIN 6340 washers are made of steel, which can optionally be plated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments.
Areas of application for DIN 6340 washers
DIN 6340 is used in construction - in the installation of steel and reinforced concrete structures, as well as in preloaded elements. The flat washer ensures a stronger contact between the fastener and the material of the installation and prevents threaded connections from spontaneously loosening. The large diameter of the washer reduces the pressure on the installation and reduces the risk of workpiece material being pushed through.
