Nylon Flat Washers are lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant components designed to distribute load, protect surfaces, and enhance mechanical stability. Commonly used with bolts, screws, and rotating parts, these flat washer nylon components provide low friction, electrical insulation, and excellent wear resistance.
Available in multiple specifications—including nylon washers, thin nylon washers, and custom flat washers—they are ideal for precision assemblies that require smooth rotation, strong connections, and long service life.
They are especially suitable for hinges and rotating shafts, where rotational feel, stability, and durability are critical to performance.

FAQ
1. What does a flat washer do?
A flat washer distributes the load of a fastener, reduces friction, protects surfaces, and increases stability.
In nylon form, nylon washers also provide electrical insulation, noise reduction, and corrosion resistance.
2. How to use lock washer with flat washer?
To achieve both surface protection and anti-loosening performance:
Place the flat washer first (flat washer nylon or metal) directly under the bolt head or nut to distribute load.
Place the lock washer on top of the flat washer.
Tighten the assembly.
The flat washer spreads the load, while the lock washer applies spring tension to prevent loosening.
3. Are thin nylon washers suitable for small devices?
Yes. Thin nylon washers are ideal for tight spaces or devices requiring minimal friction and lightweight performance.
4. Can you provide custom flat washers?
Yes. We supply custom flat washers in any size, thickness, material, and tolerance based on project needs.
5. Do nylon washers wear out easily?
No. Nylon has strong abrasion resistance and low friction, making nylon washers ideal for long-term hinge and shaft movement.
