Osculati AISI 316 Stainless Steel Split Spring Lock Washers DIN 127 / UNI 1751
Osculati split spring lock washers, commonly known as Grower washers, are manufactured from AISI 316 stainless steel and are listed according to DIN 127 / UNI 1751. These washers feature a circular split-ring construction with offset ends and are designed for use in compatible metric threaded fastening assemblies.
The split and helical profile provides spring action when the washer is compressed between a bolt head or nut and the mounting surface. This construction is traditionally used to add resistance to loosening in suitable fastening connections.
Unlike conventional DIN 125 flat washers, Grower washers are not flat in their uncompressed state. Their split-ring design allows elastic deformation during tightening, while the cut ends can interact with the adjoining contact surfaces.
AISI 316 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance for suitable marine, outdoor and general mechanical applications. These washers can be used with compatible bolts, machine screws and nuts in equipment fittings, mounting brackets and mechanical assemblies.
The range includes seven nominal metric fastening sizes from M3 to M12. Each version is identified by an individual Osculati part number and supplied in a specified box quantity.
