Industrial W18x2 W17x2 W16x6 W15x3 Lock Washers

Description:

The W18 x 2, W17 x 2, W16 x 6, W15 x 3 Lock Washer Lot is used in industrial mechanical assemblies to prevent loosening of fasteners under vibration, torque fluctuation, and dynamic load conditions. It consists of multiple sizes of “W-series” locking washers, which are typically heavy-duty external tooth or wedge-style washers designed for shaft-mounted and adapter sleeve applications in industrial equipment. Commonly used in gearboxes, bearing assemblies, rotating machinery, and heavy mechanical drive systems where secure preload retention is required. Maintenance teams, OEM manufacturers, and rebuild technicians use this lot for equipment repair, bearing lock replacement, and drivetrain maintenance across industrial machinery.

Applications:

The W-series lock washer lot is used in industrial rotating equipment and power transmission assemblies to secure nuts, bearings, and adapter sleeves against loosening caused by vibration and load cycling. It is commonly applied in gear reducers, industrial motors, conveyors, pumps, and heavy machinery where locking reliability is critical for operational safety and uptime.
