DIN 6798 J is a standard toothed lock washer used to ensure a secure connection between a bolt or screw and the material on which it is screwed. The toothed lock washer DIN 6798 J has the form of an annular plate with teeth on the inner diameter that grip the threaded surface of the bolt or screw. This provides additional fixation of the connection and prevents it from loosening during operation.
Fastening group DIN 6798 J
DIN 6798 J Locking toothed washer is most often made of stainless steel and belongs to the stainless steel fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 6798 J washers
The following materials are used to manufacture DIN 6798 J locking toothed washers:
- Steel, which can optionally be coated with zinc. Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments.
- Stainless steel grades A2 and A4. The steel grade allows the fasteners to be used at significant temperature drops and in aggressive and humid environments.
