Schnorr® 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.

TYPE S vs TYPE VS
Type S — Standard Schnorr® for property class 4.6, 5.8 and 6.8 bolts. The most common variant.
Type VS (Reinforced) — For property class 8.8 and 10.9 bolts, where higher pretension forces require a more robust washer.
KEY ADVANTAGES
High resistance to vibration through positive form-fit locking. Compensates for setting and creep in the joint by maintaining spring preload. Higher elasticity than spring lock washers. Single-piece design — no glued pairs to separate or align.
MATERIALS AND FINISHES
High Tensile Steel — Zinc Plated — Bright zinc finish, general industrial use.
High Tensile Steel — Zinc Coated + Passivation — Additional passivation layer for improved corrosion resistance.
A2-70 G304 Stainless Steel — For outdoor, food contact and chemical environments.
STANDARDS
Manufactured to DIN EN 10132-4 and the Schnorr® factory standard.

Original Schnorr® Safety Washers are a disc spring with a trapezoidal cross-section and radial serrations on both sides. The outer diameter is matched to the head of pan-head and socket-head cap screws. Under tightening, the conical form flattens — driving the serrations into both mating surfaces — producing very high locking torque from a single washer.
