Washers

Boker’s, Minneapolis, MN, offers application-specific D-washers, which are named based on the D shape created by a flat edge on the OD, the ID, or a combination of both. D-washers provide a flat bearing surface and are used under the head of a bolt and/or nut to disperse loads as well as prevent the washer from turning in the application. Also called clipped washers, they are used in applications in which space limitations do not allow the use of a flat, round washer, as well as when keeping an assembly stationary is required.
