Description
Overview:
The Forgefix Spring Washers ZP M6 Bag 100 (MPN FORSW6M, code 100SW6) are zinc‐plated steel spring washers designed to keep bolted joints secure under movement and vibration. Each washer is split and formed into a helix so it applies a constant spring force between the fastener head and the mating surface, helping maintain preload and reducing the risk of loosening. The bright zinc‐plated finish (silver) offers reliable corrosion resistance for general indoor and sheltered outdoor use. Sized for M6 fasteners, they work with standard metric bolts, set screws and nuts across construction fixings, plant maintenance, metalwork, and garden machinery. Supplied in a practical bag of 100 for workshop and site use, they provide a consistent, dependable solution for everyday assembly and repair tasks.
Key Features:
- M6 metric size for use with M6 bolts, set screws and nuts
- Split, helical design maintains clamping force to resist loosening
- Helps counter vibration, shock and thermal cycling in assemblies
- Zinc‐plated steel for enhanced corrosion resistance and long service life
- Bright finish for clean appearance and easy identification in mixed fastener kits
- Simple to fit: place on the bolt or stud beneath the nut or head, then tighten
- Suitable for pairing with flat washers where surface protection is required
- Consistent thickness and form for predictable performance and torque settings
- Versatile across engineering, construction, maintenance and machinery repairs
- Supplied as a bag of 100 pieces to cover multiple jobs and spares
Typical Applications:
Securing joints that are subject to vibration or movement, such as guards, brackets, engine cowls, pumps, fans, gear housings, small engines, compressors, generators, plate compactors, lawnmowers and general fabrications. Common in plant and tool maintenance, workshop assemblies, site fixings, and repairs on garden and light industrial machinery where maintaining preload in M6 fasteners is important.
