Spherical Washer Sets (Self-Aligning Washers)
Spherical Washer Sets, also known as Self-Aligning Washers or Equalizing Washers, are a great solution for fastening applications on an uneven surface. The washer set consists of a “top” half that is convex and a “bottom” half that is concave. The top washer has a slightly narrower ID than the bottom washer while both have the same radius. This enables a bolt or screw to pass through both washers and “self-align” allowing for a flat clamping washer surface. The spherical washer sets are designed for a 3-4 degree angle of correction.
Adjustable Handles
Adjustable Handles are widely used today by Original Equipment Manufacturers as a great way to fasten and secure multiple parts. Adjustable Handles have an internal ratchet system that allows you to “lift and rotate” the handle to any position after it has been tightened. They are ideal for applications that have tight space requirements and are commonly found on medical equipment, processing and packaging equipment, machine tools, and fitness equipment.
