Minneapolis, MN – March 1, 2018 – Boker’s, a manufacturer of precision metal stampings, washers, spacers and shims, is the leading stamping manufacturer of application specific D-washers.
D-washers get their name based on the “D” shape that is created by having a flat edge on either the OD, the ID or a combination of both. D-washers provide a flat bearing surface and are used under the head of a bolt and / or a nut to disperse loads as well as prevent the washer from turning in the application. They are generally mounted with the flat edge of the washer facing a flat surface or recessed hole.
Many applications require D-washers and they are used in many industries such as automotive, marine, aerospace, medical and countless more. “D-washers, also referred to as clipped washers, are generally used in applications where space limitations do not allow the use of a flat round washer, as well as when keeping an assembly stationary is required,” said Chuck Kersey, Assistant Sales Manager.
Boker’s maintains over 32,000 stock tools for flat round washers, spacers and shims without tool charges. You can choose from a wide variety of sizes, thicknesses and materials, including non-metallic to suit your application. With outside diameters of 0.080″ to 5.140″ and a wide variety of inside diameters, you have millions of flat and specialty washer possibilities.
