WASHER m16*34*3.8

Description

Product Introduction
This VANGUARD INDUSTRIAL M16343.8 flat washer is a metal ring-shaped fastener, made entirely of stainless steel and formed through sheet metal stamping. Its specific dimensions include an M16 thread fit, an outer diameter of 34mm, and a thickness of 3.8mm. Compared to standard M16 flat washers, it features a larger outer diameter and thickness, making it a reinforced and enlarged flat washer.
Its core function is to increase the contact area between the bolt and the connected components, distribute the tightening pressure, prevent damage or scratches on the workpiece surface caused by the bolt head, and also assist in enhancing connection stability when used with elastic washers. It is suitable for connection scenarios requiring higher load-bearing capacity and larger contact surfaces, and is widely applied in mechanical assembly, hardware engineering, equipment installation, and other fields.
🛠️ Usage Instructions
Preparatory Work
Confirm that the gasket is suitable for M16 bolts/nuts, inspect the gasket surface for defects such as burrs, deformation, cracks, etc., and ensure the contact surface is flat and clean.
Installation operation
Insert the washer onto the M16 bolt rod and place it between the bolt head and the contact surface of the connected component, then proceed with the subsequent nut tightening operation. If spring washers are required, follow the installation sequence of “flat washer pressed against the workpiece surface, spring washer placed between the flat washer and the nut.”.
Precautions
When tightening the nut, maintain the torque within a reasonable range to prevent the washer from deforming under overload and losing its stress-distributing function. Avoid using the washer directly on rough or severely uneven workpiece surfaces, as this will significantly reduce the reliability of the connection.
