Specialty Washers: Ogee, Conical, Wedge Lock, and More

Not all applications are standard. Specialty washers such as ogee washers, conical washers, wedge lock washers, and self-locking washers are engineered to meet unique challenges. Ogee washers distribute loads in timber and structural assemblies, while conical washers provide spring tension and precise flexibility.

Wedge lock washers resist extreme vibration in aerospace and automotive machinery, and self-locking washers maintain fastener tension over time. Tab washers align fasteners in industrial machinery. The material—stainless steel, alloy steel, or carbon steel—is crucial to their performance. Partnering with a trusted shim washer manufacturer ensures that these specialty washers meet design and material standards, delivering reliability in high-stress environments.
