Product Information

For an introduction to Captive Screws and Captive Washer best practices, our Captive Screw Installation Guide is a good reference tool. The range includes a Thermoplastic Rubber Washer (TPR) that has improved chemical resistance, sealing characteristics and vibration resistance. These are a great solution for oil, gas and automotive industries. These flat rubbers are manufactured to DIN 125 standard. They also benefit from flame resistance to UL94 HB standard. Their purpose is to help threaded fasteners do a more reliable job while protecting the surface from damage during tightening. A perfect example of this is when the material you’re fastening to is weaker than the fastener material itself. Without a washer, the fastener can distort the material it’s being installed into. To prevent this, you need a large bearing surface, which the washer provides. This washer is in the shape of a ring cut by spring steel. Its ends are slightly raised up and down due to spring tension. These washers are placed above or below the nut or bolt and tighten so much that both their ends face each other and become leveled.

Passivation is a process designed to remove foreign metals from the surface of stainless and corrosion resistant steels. Yellow to orange colour depending on a proprietary process used. Will range from matt to bright finish depending on base metal. Good corrosion resistance and high tarnish resistance. These components can also be used alongside standard Precision Screws, and are particularly useful for creating Screw and Washer pre-assemblies.Its shape is like a round ring. Before tightening the nut and bolt, it is fitted on a stud or bolt. It is used to secure the tightness of a joint, screw, etc. and it becomes easy to open the nut-bolts and their threads are protected.

Washers are available in metal, rubber and plastic. When high strength is needed, go with a metal washer. Rubber is ideal when flexibility and a tight seal are needed. Plastic is perfect for smaller applications. An example is electronics, which need washers that resist vibrations. Nylon vs. rubber washers A more premium retaining solution can be found in Accu's specialist range of Washers For Captive Screws.Softer metals, such as copper, can also resist vibration in machines, helping to keep connections secure. Of course, coppers can also be hard if treated. Steel is similar. Low-carbon steel washers are common, as is stronger steel washers. For applications where retaining fasteners are required to be fitted to equipment such as safety guards, Push-On Washers can be used to achieve compliance with EU machine Directive 2006/42/EC. Captive Fasteners are designed to aid compliance with EU Machine Safety Directive 2006/42/EC and EU regulations on equipment such as safety guards. They work by preventing screws from being fully removed, either intentionally or by accident, from housing assemblies, such as panels on machinery. The step washer offering features shoulder bushes made from Nylon 6/6, These nylon sleeve washers are a self-lubricating option, great for anything that pivots or rotates. The are low coefficient of friction, and resistant of moisture, dirt and most chemicals. We also have a countersunk sleeve that is frequently applied in electro technical environments, and is compulsory by law in many countries. It prevents electrical corrosion with countersunk head screws.
