ISODAMP™ C-1000 Series, Bushing, Shoulder Washers

Washers and bushings with a shoulder are disc or round shaped objects that feature two distinct levels. The smaller of the two diameters is typically designed to fit into an opening, while the larger diameter serves as a surface for supporting or seating other components. These hardware components come in a variety of sizes and shapes, with different specifications depending on their intended application. The critical characteristics of washers and bushings with a shoulder include thread/screw/hole size, diameter/inside, diameter/outside, diameter/shoulder, thickness/overall, length/below head, and material. The materials used in the manufacture of washers and bushings with a shoulder are important factors in their performance and longevity. Common materials include brass, fiber, nylon, polyphenylene sulfide, polyphenylene sulfide/glass filled, and thermoplastic. Each material offers unique properties such as strength, durability, and resistance to chemical or environmental factors. Washers and bushings with a shoulder find widespread use across various industries, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing. They are commonly employed in applications requiring precise and secure fastening, such as electrical connections, plumbing fixtures, and machinery components. By providing a stable and durable seating surface, these hardware components ensure proper alignment and distribution of forces, contributing to the efficient and safe operation of the systems in which they are utilized. Their ability to reduce wear, prevent damage, and improve overall performance makes them indispensable components in numerous mechanical and electromechanical assemblies.
