ACZ16 WASHER

ACZ16 WASHER

ACZ16 washers are often used in the industrial sector, and their application fields include a variety of machines, tools, and other mechanical components. ACZ16 washers are particularly useful for heavy-duty work and general engineering as they provide added support and structural integrity to the hardware being assembled. They also prevent the hardware from vibrating excessively and ensure its stability.

The ACZ16 washer has a slightly larger outside diameter than most standard washers, which helps increasing the bearing surface area on the surface of the bolted assembly. This helps reduce potential issues with vibration-related damage such as loosening of bolts. In addition, the shape of the washer\'s outer diameter gives it a greater contact area with the fastener head compared to traditional flat washers.

Another application of ACZ16 washers is to provide additional sealing pressure in pipe and hydraulic connections. An ACZ16 washer has a rubber or fibre surface which helps to provide a better seal than a conventional flat washer. This can be used to prevent leakage in pipes and hydraulic systems, as well as reducing the likelihood of corrosion and other damage.

Working Principle

The ACZ16 washer is a conical-shaped washer with large bearing surfaces on both sides, on top of and underneath the washer. When placed between the hardware and the fastening surface, it evenly distributes the tension or clamping load over the entire surface, thus greatly reducing the risk of deformation or loosening. Due to its increased bearing surface area, an ACZ16 washer can also provide an improved seal compared to a flat washer, greatly reducing the chances of leakage.

ACZ16 washers offer superior tensile strength compared to flat washers, making them particularly well-suited for use in heavy-duty applications. They are made from a variety of materials that are corrosion-resistant and heat-resistant, such as steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, and their surfaces can be treated in order to be highly rubberized or to have a ceramic surface.

These washers are typically available in standard sizes and can be machined in order to make them fit the application. The proper combination of hole diameter, washer shape, material, and thread size is essential for ensuring that the washer can securely hold the hardware in place.

Conclusion

ACZ16 washers are an effective solution for providing added support and structural integrity to fastened hardware, as well as improved sealing and preventing vibration-related damage. Additionally, they offer a superior tensile strength compared to traditional flat washers, making them ideal for applications in the industrial sector. As always, the proper choice of material, size, and shape is essential for the proper performance of the washers.
