Nylon Washers

A nylon washer fastener is a type of washer made from nylon material. Washers, in general, are flat, disc-shaped components with a hole in the center that is placed between a nut or bolt head and the surface being fastened. They serve several purposes, including load distribution, reducing friction, and preventing damage to the material being fastened. Nylon washer fasteners are known for their unique properties and advantages, including: Insulation: Nylon is an electrical insulator, making these washers ideal for applications where electrical conductivity should be avoided. Corrosion Resistance: Nylon is resistant to many chemicals and corrosion, making it suitable for use in corrosive environments. Low Friction: Nylon has low friction properties, which can reduce the amount of torque required when tightening nuts and bolts. Vibration Damping: Nylon washers can absorb vibrations and reduce the risk of fasteners loosening due to vibrations. Noise Reduction: They can help dampen noise and prevent rattling in assemblies. Nylon washers come in various sizes and shapes, including flat, flanged, and spacers, to suit different applications. They are commonly used in industries such as electronics, automotive, plumbing, and general machinery where their unique properties can provide benefits in specific situations.
