Square Washers

A square washer is a type of flat washer with a square or rectangular shape, as opposed to the more common round or circular washers. It typically has a central hole that allows it to be used in conjunction with bolts, screws, or other fasteners. Square washers serve several purposes, including: Load Distribution: Like other types of washers, square washers are used to distribute the load or force exerted by a fastener over a larger area. This helps prevent the fastener from digging into or damaging the material it is fastened to, which can be especially useful in construction or woodworking applications. Alignment: Square washers can be used to help align components, particularly when dealing with square or rectangular holes or structures. Reinforcement: They are used to reinforce connections, providing additional support and stability to the fastened components. Square washers are available in various sizes and materials to suit different applications and project requirements. They are commonly used in situations where square or rectangular fastener holes or components are involved.
