Fractional Size Aluminum 7075 T6 Split Lock Washer

Fractional Size Aluminum 7075-T6 Split Lock Washers

High-Strength Locking for Lightweight Assemblies

Fractional size aluminum 7075-T6 split lock washers are engineered to provide vibration resistance and secure fastening in applications where both strength and weight reduction are critical. Designed to maintain tension between fastened components, these washers help prevent loosening caused by dynamic loads, movement, or thermal cycling. Their lightweight aluminum construction makes them ideal for aerospace, automotive, and high-performance equipment.

7075-T6 Aluminum Material Advantages

Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio

Aluminum 7075-T6 is one of the strongest aluminum alloys available, offering strength levels comparable to some steels while remaining significantly lighter. This makes these split lock washers ideal for applications where minimizing weight is essential without sacrificing performance.

Corrosion Resistance

7075-T6 aluminum provides good corrosion resistance in many environments, especially when used in dry or mildly corrosive conditions. While not as corrosion-resistant as 3003 or 5052 aluminum, it still performs well when properly protected or paired with compatible materials.

Split Lock Washer Design

Helical Spring Action

Split lock washers feature a helical design that creates spring tension when compressed. This tension helps maintain preload in the fastener assembly, reducing the risk of loosening due to vibration or fluctuating loads.

Enhanced Grip and Bite

The split ends of the washer provide a slight biting action into the mating surfaces, helping to resist rotation and maintain a secure hold. This is particularly useful in assemblies subject to movement or shock.

Fractional Sizes for U.S. Applications

Wide Range of Sizes

Available in standard fractional (inch) sizes, these washers are compatible with common U.S. fasteners, ensuring easy integration into existing assemblies.

Applications Across Industries

Common uses include aerospace components, performance vehicles, electronics, and lightweight structural assemblies where both strength and reduced mass are priorities.

Reliable Lightweight Locking Solution

Fractional size aluminum 7075-T6 split lock washers provide a strong, dependable, and lightweight solution for maintaining fastener tension in demanding applications.
