All of these washers are lightweight, nonconductive, and naturally rust resistant. They are commonly used in electronics and automation applications to take the pressure off screws and nuts and protect mounting surfaces.
Moisture-Resistant Delrin® Acetal—The best plastic for damp and wet environments, these washers won't swell or lose their strength if exposed to moisture.
Chemical-Resistant High-Temperature PTFE—The most chemical-resistant plastic washers we offer, these stand up to the widest range of harsh acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners, even at temperatures up to 500° F. Their slippery surface reduces friction between the washer, fastener, and mounting surface to prevent sticking when tightening and loosening. They are also good electrical insulators.
Hard Fiber Washers
![]() |
The least likely to scratch or mar delicate mounting surfaces, these washers are made of hardened cotton fiber. They are also naturally nonconductive, so they are a great choice for insulating nuts and screws to prevent unintended charges. However, fiber washers will break down faster than other washers and will need to be replaced more often.

Square Washers
With flat sides, these washers fit into slots and channels and won't rotate out of position. They are also wider and thicker than most round washers, so they distribute heavier loads across a larger surface area. Square washers are commonly used to anchor heavy machinery, fasten framing to floors, and hang pipe and conduit from strut channel.

Tooth Lock Washers
Grip tighter than split lock washers to prevent nuts and screws from loosening in applications with constant movement, such as conveyors. Tooth lock washers typically can't be reused because the teeth often get bent when tightened.
External Tooth
![]() |
Teeth on the outside edge bite into both the fastener and the mating surface for a stronger hold than internal-tooth lock washers. However, they may mar your material and snag on objects. Pair these washers with nuts and screws that are large enough to make contact with the teeth, such as pan, button, and binding head screws.

Heavy-Vibration-Resistant Spring Lock Washers
![]() |
With a grip that's second only to wedge lock, these washers stop nuts and screws from wiggling loose under constant, vigorous vibration. They are ideal for engines, turbines, generators, and other heavy duty equipment. Similar to a spring, they flatten under pressure to add tension between mating surfaces. As long as the washers aren't deformed or otherwise damaged, you can reuse them indefinitely without losing locking strength. Also known as conical washers and Belleville washers.
Stack multiple washers in the same direction to double or triple how much weight they can bear. Stack washers in opposite directions for better deflection, which means they compress further and withstand more shock and movement without loosening.
Super-Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these washers to rust.

The curvy, spring-like shape adds a small amount of tension to prevent nuts and screws from backing out due to mild vibration. These washers also flex slightly to compensate for uneven surfaces. While more secure than a standard flat washer, these have the least amount of gripping power of all our lock washers. They are best suited for electrical panels, light fixtures, and other light duty assemblies. These washers hold their shape when untightened, so you can reuse them a handful of times without losing strength.

Extreme-Vibration-Resistant Wedge Lock Washers
When it's critical to keep bolted assemblies secure, choose these two-piece lock washers with the tightest grip of all. They stop nuts and screws from loosening in heavy machinery that experiences jarring starts and stops, such as compressors and compactors. Serrations on the outside bite into the fastener and mating surfaces, while wedges on the inside lock the two pieces together. When the nut or screw starts to loosen, the wedges drive more tightly together to maintain tension. You can reuse these washers up to fifteen times, as long as the serrations and wedges are not worn down. They are comparable to NORD-LOCK® or Sherex TEC® washers.

Sealing Washers
Prevent leaks while distributing weight evenly under nuts and screws. These washers compress as you tighten to keep air and fluid in, and dust and contaminants out. Use them anywhere you need a tight seal, such as protecting electronics from moisture or keeping lubricants contained in machinery.
Rubber

Resist leaks better than metal sealing washers, but are more susceptible to wear and tear. Reuse these washers a handful of times, as long as the material isn't damaged.
Weather-Resistant EPDM—The best choice for outdoor use, these washers withstand long-term exposure to sunlight, rain, and ozone. However, they can't handle oil, grease, or fuel like Buna-N washers can.

Metal
![]() |
Also known as crush washers, these are made of soft metal that deforms under pressure to fill gaps around the nut or screw. Often found in oil drain valves, they withstand stress and wear better than plastic and rubber washers, but aren't as leak-resistant. Metal sealing washers are not reusable.
Copper—Softer than aluminum washers, these deform easily to create a tight seal with less effort. They resist rusting in corrosive environments, but will develop a green patina over time.
Cellulose-Filled Copper—The easiest washers to crush. These washers are embedded with cellulose, which makes them more flexible than other metal washers for a tighter seal. They resist rusting in corrosive environments, but will develop a green patina over time.
Aluminum—These washers are an economical alternative to copper. They have similar corrosion resistance but require more effort to crush.

For Stepped Nuts |
Designed for use with bearing nuts, these lock washers have a conical shape that presses like a spring against bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys to hold them in place on your threaded shaft or spindle. They also have an inner tab that sits in the shaft or spindle’s keyway to prevent the nut from loosening.
Steel—Steel washers are strong and flexible.
External Tooth—Washers with external teeth grip components using their teeth, in addition to spring tension.
DIN 462 and DIN 5406—DIN 462 and DIN 5406 washers meet international standards for lock washer dimensions. Pair DIN 462 washers with DIN 1804 bearing nuts, and DIN 5406 washers with DIN 981 bearing nuts.
