Flat Washers (Thru Hardened)

A fender washer is a specialized type of washer commonly used in various industries, known for its distinctive design featuring a larger outer diameter compared to its inner hole. This unique configuration offers several benefits, primarily focused on load distribution and protection of fragile or thin materials. Fender washers play a crucial role in preventing fasteners, such as bolts or screws, from digging into or damaging materials like sheet metal, plastic, or wood. By providing a wider surface area, they effectively distribute the load or pressure, reducing the risk of material deformation or tearing. This feature is particularly valuable in applications where maintaining material integrity is essential, such as in automotive assembly, construction, and manufacturing processes. These washers are available in diverse sizes and materials, including steel, stainless steel, and plastic, catering to a wide range of industrial needs. Their versatility and effectiveness make fender washers a vital component in ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of various projects and products.
