Large stainless steel washers are one of the many different types of washer we supply here at Stephens Gaskets. With decades of experience under our belts as washer manufacturers, our capabilities have only expanded over the years. In fact, we have made major investments in our manufacturing facilities. In turn, it means we can manufacture washers for a wide range of industries and applications.
What Is A Washer?
A washer is a round disc that is specially designed to be fitted in between two different components inside a piece of machinery. When there are loose fitting components or gaps between components, there is the potential for these parts to move around. This can then lead to damage on the interior of the machine. Not o mention, wear and tear on other parts, and can even jeopardise the machine’s overall safety and performance. In order to prevent this, you can fit a washer into the gap which will then act as a buffer or a spacer. By fitting a washer in, you can create a tighter alignment and reduce movement. Therefore decreasing friction damage, improving seals, and enhancing the performance and lifespan of the machinery.
Stainless Steel Benefits
We have plenty of materials to choose from at Stephens Gaskets, including rubber, cork, aluminium, plastic, and steel. One of our most popular washer materials is stainless steel. This is often used to make large stainless steel washers for manufacturing industries. Stainless steel carries lots of benefits, but its main one is the fact that it is very resistant to rust, corrosion, and staining. Even when it is in contact with water. Stainless steel washers are also incredibly durable and hard-wearing. In fact, they are arguably one of the strongest metal washers available. These washers are guaranteed to stand the test of time, and not only performance-wise; they also maintain their clean aesthetic appeal too.
Applications For Large Stainless Steel Washers
Due to their aforementioned properties, large stainless steel washers make an important part of any faster assembly. Those properties alongside their fantastic load-bearing capacity means that they are suitable for many industrial applications. In particular, the electronics, food, chemical, and construction industries.
