Popular Sirius Products

The Sirius spring washer collection includes split lock washers for general fastening applications where vibration resistance is essential, ideal for machinery assembly and automotive work. Wave washers provide controlled axial loading in assemblies with limited space, perfect for bearing preload and tolerance compensation. Conical spring washers offer higher spring rates for heavy-duty applications requiring substantial bolt tension. All Sirius washers are available in zinc-plated finishes for indoor use or stainless steel options for environments requiring enhanced corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between split washers and wave washers?

Split washers (lock washers) feature a cut ring design that digs into the mating surface to prevent rotation and loosening. Wave washers have a wavy profile that provides spring action along the bolt axis, ideal for maintaining controlled pressure in assemblies.

Are Sirius spring washers suitable for outdoor applications?

Standard zinc-plated Sirius washers are suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use. For exposed outdoor applications or corrosive environments, opt for Sirius stainless steel spring washers which offer superior corrosion resistance.

Can I reuse spring washers?

Spring washers are designed as single-use components. Once compressed during initial assembly, they lose their spring characteristics and should be replaced during reassembly to ensure proper tension and locking performance.
