Willie-Washer - Square OD Washers | Square Plate Washers
Square OD Washers are offered for applications where a round washer might not work. Square washers have a larger surface area than round washers with the same outside diameter. The larger surface area on square washers spreads loads over a larger area and also increases resistance. Stainless steel square washers are utilized to protect surface finishes and spread loads in a fastener assembly system that utilizes square headed fasteners.
Square plate washers are able to gain a lot of friction when applied to wood, which is why they are utilized for seismic projects and applications. Square washers are engineered to prolong the life of parts and are utilized to control sound levels and motion such as vibration. Square OD washers are useful in timber construction, automotive projects, and with machinery. Square washers are designed to eliminate rotation issues and fit in small spaces that are not compatible with round washers.
These square plate washers are usually made from low carbon steel, but other materials are available. Square OD washers are also available in stainless steel, brass, spring steel, aluminum, copper and many non-metallic materials. We offer stainless steel square washers in various types of finishes to meet the guidelines of your project.
