Curved Washers

Washers are named by the bolt they fit: an M10 washer suits an M10 bolt. The inside diameter is slightly larger than the bolt so it slides on. Our guide covers every size and washer type we stock.
Measure the inside diameter (ID), outside diameter (OD) and thickness, as shown in the drawing.

MATERIAL
A2-70 G304 Stainless Steel — Corrosion-resistant for outdoor and food/chemical use.
STANDARD
Manufactured to DIN 137A.
CURVED vs BELLEVILLE vs WAVE
A curved washer gives light thrust in one direction. A Belleville disc gives higher thrust and can be stacked. A wave washer gives a softer, multi-point spring. Pick based on load magnitude and whether you need stackability or a single low-force solution.

Curved washers are similar to a Belleville washer but curved in only one direction. They exert relatively light thrust loads and are often used to absorb axial end-play or as a simple lock washer for fasteners. The height of the form and the material thickness can be varied to tune the load/deflection characteristic.
