Description
Product Overview
The HEICO-Lock wedge lock washers are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern industrial fastening systems. Constructed from high‑grade steel, each washer benefits from a zinc‑flake coating that provides superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and abrasive environments. This combination of material strength and protective finish ensures that the washers maintain their clamping force over long periods, reducing the risk of loosening in critical applications.
Designed specifically for M10 bolt and screw assemblies, the washers feature a standard diameter that aligns with common metric fastener specifications. The wedge design creates a self‑locking action when the fastener is tightened, converting axial tension into a radial force that secures the joint. This mechanism eliminates the need for additional locking components, simplifying inventory management and reducing overall assembly time.
Each package contains 200 units, a quantity chosen to support large‑scale projects, routine maintenance programs, and inventory stocking for workshops that require reliable, repeatable performance. The washers are lightweight, with an item weight of 4.32 ounces per package, making them easy to handle and store without sacrificing durability.
Manufactured by HEICO Fastening Systems, a recognized leader in precision fastener technology, these wedge lock washers adhere to strict quality control standards. The product was first made available on March 28, 2024, and has quickly earned a ranking of #73 in the Wedge Lock Washers subcategory, reflecting strong market acceptance among engineers and procurement specialists.
Usage
These washers excel in a variety of industrial settings, including automotive assembly lines, heavy machinery maintenance, and construction equipment fabrication. Their corrosion‑resistant coating makes them ideal for outdoor installations, marine environments, and facilities where exposure to salts or cleaning agents is common.
When used with M10 bolts, the wedge lock washers provide a secure, vibration‑resistant connection that is essential for applications such as engine mounts, chassis brackets, and structural supports. The self‑locking action reduces the need for periodic torque checks, saving valuable labor hours and minimizing downtime.</n
Maintenance teams appreciate the ease of installation: the washers can be placed directly onto the bolt head or nut without additional tools, and the locking action is achieved simply by tightening the fastener to the recommended torque. This straightforward process supports rapid assembly and disassembly, which is particularly beneficial in repair scenarios where time is of the essence.

FAQ
What material is used for the washers?
The washers are made from high‑quality carbon steel that is subsequently treated with a zinc‑flake coating to enhance corrosion resistance while preserving the inherent strength of the steel substrate.
Are these washers compatible with stainless steel bolts?
Yes, the wedge lock washers can be used with stainless steel bolts, provided the bolt size matches the M10 specification. The zinc‑flake coating helps prevent galvanic corrosion when paired with stainless steel components.
How many washers are included in each package?
Each package contains 200 individual wedge lock washers, offering a convenient bulk quantity for large projects, regular maintenance cycles, and inventory stocking.
Can these washers be used in marine applications?
The zinc‑flake coating offers excellent resistance to saltwater exposure, making the washers suitable for many marine and offshore applications. However, for extreme marine conditions, additional protective measures may be advisable.
What is the recommended torque for installation?
While the exact torque value depends on the specific bolt and application, a typical torque range for M10 fasteners with these washers is between 30 and 45 Nm. Always refer to the equipment manufacturer’s specifications for precise torque settings.
