PLAIN WASHER

Short Description

Brand:- SAI or any general.

It's easy to overlook something this small, yet almost every bolted joint in existence relies on one to work properly. A plain washer is a flat, ring-shaped disc placed under a nut or bolt head to spread the clamping load over a wider area, protecting the material underneath from denting, cracking, or wearing unevenly as the fastener is tightened. Without it, a bolt head can dig into soft or thin surfaces and gradually loosen the joint as the material deforms. An SS plain washer is often the preferred choice when the joint is exposed to moisture or needs a cleaner finish over time.

Material: Mild steel or stainless steel (SS 202/304/316) depending on application
Grades: Standard commercial grade with stainless A2/A4 grades available
Thickness: Ranges from thin gauge to heavy duty depending on load requirement
Size Range: M3 to M24 inner diameter, with custom sizes on request
Surface Finish: Zinc plated, black oxide, or plain stainless finish
Shape: Flat, circular ring with a centered hole
Standards: Manufactured in accordance with DIN 125 and IS 2016 specifications

Why Choose Genuine Enterprises

Washers rarely get much attention until a joint starts loosening or a surface shows visible denting, and by then the fix usually costs more than the washer itself would have. We keep tight control over flatness and inner diameter tolerance across our production, since even a slightly warped washer changes how evenly load gets distributed under a bolt head. Fabricators working with thinner sheet metal or softer materials have told us this consistency makes a visible difference in how their joints hold up.

Getting flat, properly sized washers shouldn't be complicated, and that's the standard we hold ourselves to as a plain washer supplier in India working with fabricators, electrical panel builders, and general contractors. We keep a wide range of sizes and finishes in stock, including stainless steel options for buyers who need better corrosion resistance. Small parts like this often get sourced in a hurry, so we focus on keeping availability steady rather than making buyers wait.

1.What is a plain washer used for?
It's placed under a bolt head or nut to spread the clamping load evenly and protect the surface from denting or wear.

2. When should I use a stainless steel washer instead of mild steel?
Stainless steel washers are better suited to humid, outdoor, or corrosion-prone environments where mild steel would rust over time.

3. Does the washer thickness matter for the application?
Yes, thicker washers are generally used for heavier loads, while thinner ones suit lighter fastening applications.

4. Can a plain washer be used with both screws and bolts?
Yes, it works with any threaded fastener where load distribution or surface protection is needed.

5. Do you supply custom sizes for non-standard bolt diameters?
Yes, custom inner and outer diameters are available based on your specific requirement.
