SPLIT LOCK WASHER DIMENSIONS (INCH SERIES)

Split Lock Washer Dimensions are shown in the following chart according to ASME B18.21.1-2009 standard. All dimensions are in inches. Split lock washers from #0 to 3 inches nominal size are given. Split lock washers are available in four series which are regular, heavy, extra duty and high collar.

A split lock washer (or a helical spring lock washer) is a type of washer with slightly trapezoidal wire formed into a helix of one coil.

Some important notes from the ASME B18.21.1:

- Split lock washers compensate for developed looseness between component parts of an assembly, and provide a hardened bearing surface.

- Split lock washers shall be produced from material complaint to chemical composition requirements of the standards given in ASME B18.21.1 (Carbon Steel: SAE J403 1055–1065, Boron Steel: SAE J411 10B55–10B65, Stainless Steel: SAE J405 302–305 or SAE J405 316) Visit ASME B18.21.1 for more information.
