Component Flat Washer, Steel, Black Oxide, Round Shape, USA Made, 0.531" ID, 1.125" OD, 0.125" Thick (Pack of 25) Feature

Component Flat Washers are manufactured with thicker materials for extra strength and load distribution properties
The tight fit of the inner diameter minimizes movement, and the thickness provides extra strength
Low Carbon Steel is case hardened for extra wear resistance, and then black oxide plated for appearance
Originally used in the tool and die industries, these washers have gained acceptance in MRO, Machinery, and Component industries
Made In USA for excellent quality conformance

Component Flat Washers are named for their original popularity as a component of a jig or fixture, where a thicker washer was needed for the extra strength and load distribution properties that accompany the extra thickness. Our Component Washers are available from #4 screw size all the way thru 1-1/2" Bolt sizes. All Component Washers are thicker than any standard washer in general use. We provide two lines from stock - Thick and Extra Thick. Smaller diameters have a 5/64" thickness, going all the way up to 3/8" thickness, with the 1/8" thick line being the most popular. These washers are either stamped on power presses or turned on our lathes depending on the quantities we manufacture, and the wall thickness of the washer, which is the relationship between the thickness and the Inner Diameter dimension. All of these are suitable for use anywhere extra strength is needed. Low Carbon Steel is case hardened for extra surface hardness, while retaining the flexibility of a soft inner core, and then black oxide plated for an attractive finish.

Made in the USA. These flat washers are produced in the USA for excellent quality conformance. One of the significant differences between less expensive imported products and ours are the way we stamp. Many cheap imports are produced on gang dies that produce 10 or more washers per stroke of the press. Using such a large die means that the individual washer sets are not adjustable - when the punch wears, the dimensions change and there is no way to fix this as the press produces washers, leading to a large variation in the finished part.

Materials available in many other countries are not as consistent as the domestic steels we use, which gives the imports a cheaper cost, but can lead to failures and inconsistencies when the products are used. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) was created to address this problem. Our materials are DFARS compliant although we do not supply the certification except on special order.
