About The Article C-Washer - Features And Applications

C-Washer:

A ‘C-Washer’ is a type of ‘Washer’ that is configured to move smoothly in and out of position on a bolt or a shaft in a partly completed assembly or can be used as holding the device on a grooved shaft to keep the parts in place. 

The C-Washer is a thin plate C shaped structure used to distribute the load of a threaded screw or a nut. The structure of C washer is produced with an open slot for the inner diameter, making the washer to be the move in and out of the joint with loosening the joint – not entirely unbolting it.

C washers can easily clear the load as they can be inserted, readjusted or replaced from the workpiece at any time. Similarly, the Swing C washer can be attached and then swung out of the way for better clear loading. Both the C washers and Swing C washers come in various thickness, inner diameters and elements to fit various ranges of bolt sizes of and widely supporting the nuts.

The Features of C Washers are:

1. It has Precision Machined Surface.

2. Fabricated out of Solid steel – extra thick for strength and durability.

3. Easily assembled & disassembled without taking the joint apart.

4. It is heat treated steel with hardness of 40 to 45 HRC

5. It has a Black oxide finish.   

The Applications of C washers are:

1. In the Machinery.

2. In the Power generation.

3. In Power Transmission.

4. In most of clamping systems.

5. In general Industrial applications in combination with Nuts and bolts.
