Hi Collar Thru Hardened Split Lock Washer Plain Finish
Hi-Collar Thru-Hardened Split Lock Washer with Plain Finish – Compact Strength for Precision Fastening
When assemblies demand maximum locking power in confined spaces, the hi-collar thru-hardened split lock washer with a plain finish delivers unmatched performance. Designed with a reduced outside diameter, this washer is specifically engineered to fit under socket head cap screws and other precision fasteners where space is limited and accuracy is critical.
Engineered for High-Torque, High-Precision Applications
Thru-Hardened for Uniform Strength
Manufactured from premium medium carbon steel, these hi-collar split lock washers undergo a full thru-hardening heat treatment process. Unlike surface-hardened alternatives, the entire washer cross-section is hardened to ensure consistent strength, superior fatigue resistance, and protection against crushing under extreme clamp loads. This makes them ideal for high-torque assemblies where maintaining preload is essential.
Narrow Profile for Tight Clearances
The hi-collar design features a smaller outer diameter compared to standard split lock washers. This allows the washer to seat properly within tight design envelopes and countersunk areas without interfering with surrounding components. It is particularly effective when paired with socket head cap screws in precision-machined equipment.
Plain Finish for Clean, Controlled Environments
The plain, uncoated finish provides a natural steel surface suited for indoor and dry applications. Without added plating, the washer ensures optimal metal-to-metal contact, improving friction and enhancing locking performance. It is a cost-effective solution for environments where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.
