These R-TECH M3.5 Shakeproof Washers are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need to secure fastenings against vibration in demanding environments. Their key benefit is preventing loosening, ensuring the integrity of assemblies, especially in applications prone to movement or shock. A potential consideration is their specific M3.5 size, requiring precise application matching. This guide covers their features, use, and care.

'Shakeproof' refers to the washer's design which helps prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibrations or shocks. It provides a greater resistance to loosening compared to a standard flat washer.
These R-TECH washers are made from stainless steel, providing good corrosion resistance.
Yes, due to their stainless steel construction, they have good corrosion resistance and are suitable for use outdoors or in damp conditions.
These washers are specifically designed for M3.5 size screws and bolts.
Each pack contains 100 R-TECH Shakeproof Washers.
While stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, it is not impervious to all chemicals. For highly acidic or aggressive chemical environments, specialized materials might be required. Consult a materials specialist for extreme conditions.
Clean with a damp cloth. For more significant dirt, use mild soap and water, ensuring to dry them thoroughly afterward to maintain their anti-corrosive properties.
Ensure you are using the correct M3.5 size screw/bolt. Verify that the washer is seated properly and not obstructed. Confirm that the fastener is tightened sufficiently to engage the shakeproof mechanism.
While stainless steel offers good resistance, prolonged exposure to certain environments (e.g., saltwater, strong acids) can cause corrosion. Clean the affected area with a mild abrasive and rinse thoroughly, then dry. Consider using a more specialized fastener if the environment is extreme.
Confirm that the bolt is indeed M3.5. If it is, the washer may be slightly worn or the bolt may have minor manufacturing tolerances. Ensure adequate torque is applied to the fastener to achieve the locking effect.
Setup: These washers are designed to be used in conjunction with M3.5 screws or bolts. Simply place the washer onto the screw/bolt shaft before inserting it through the material to be fastened. Ensure the washer sits flat against the surface or between the fastener head and the material, or between the material and the nut, depending on the specific assembly requirements.
Compatibility: The primary compatibility is with M3.5 (3.5mm diameter) screws and bolts. While made of stainless steel, they are best suited for applications where moderate corrosion resistance is required. They are compatible with both internally and externally threaded fasteners of the correct size.
Care: To maintain their corrosion resistance, keep the washers clean and dry when not in use. Avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or prolonged contact with dissimilar metals that could cause galvanic corrosion. If installed in a corrosive environment, occasional inspection for any signs of degradation is recommended. Basic cleaning can be done with a damp cloth. For heavily soiled items, mild soap and water can be used, followed by thorough drying.
