DIN 6798-V is a German standard that specifies the parameters and dimensions of toothed lock washers designed to prevent nuts or screws from loosening by themselves during operation. These washers are toothed and usually made of carbon steel or stainless steel. They are often used in mechanical systems, the automotive industry, and other industries where it is necessary to ensure that screws or nuts are securely fastened. Thanks to their toothed shape, these washers create additional friction between the surface of the nut or screw and the surface on which they are screwed, which provides a more secure fit and prevents self loosening.
Fastening group DIN 6798-V
DIN 6798 V Locking toothed washer is most often made of stainless steel and belongs to the stainless fastener group.
Materials for the manufacture of DIN 6798-V washers
DIN 6798 V Locking toothed washer is made of the following materials:
- Steel, which can be additionally coated with zinc.Zinc (Plated) protects against corrosion if the fastener is to be used in aggressive environments.
- Stainless steel grade A2 allows the fasteners to be used at high temperature extremes and in aggressive and humid environments.
Application range of washers DIN 6798 V
DIN 6798-V Locking toothed washer is used in various industries where it is necessary to ensure reliable fixation of screws or nuts and prevent unauthorized loosening. Some of its applications include:
- Mechanical industry: DIN 6798-V washers are used in mechanical systems, for example, in mechanical engineering and equipment to fix screws and nuts on machinery.
- Automotive industry: DIN 6798-V washers are used in the automotive industry to fix various parts of automobiles, such as engines, wheels and other parts.
- Electronics: These washers are used in electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones and other devices, to fix screws and nuts on the circuit board.
- Construction industry: DIN 6798-V washers are used in the construction industry to fix various elements of buildings, such as ceilings, partitions and other parts.
Therefore, DIN 6798-V Locking Toothed Washer has a wide range of applications in various industries where it is necessary to ensure reliable fixation and prevent screws and nuts from loosening on their own.
