SAFLW | Flat Washers

Flat washers are commonly used in strut applications as they help to distribute the load of the fastener over a larger surface area, reducing the risk of the fastener damaging the material it is attached to. In strut applications, flat washers are used in conjunction with hex head cap screws to securely fasten strut channels to other components, such as brackets or beams.

The use of flat washers in strut applications also helps to prevent the fastener from loosening over time due to vibration. By providing a smooth surface for the fastener to tighten against, the flat washer helps to maintain a secure and tight connection between the strut and the other components.

Flat washers come in various materials such as metal, plastic, or rubber, depending on the specific application requirements. They also come in a range of sizes to fit the diameter of the fastener and the hole in the strut channel.
