Wald Bb Washer, 350, 10/Bg

Description

Product Overview

The Wald BB Washer 350 10/Bg belongs to a family of precision‑engineered flat wedge lock washers that combine durability with ease of use. Constructed from high‑grade steel, each washer offers a resilient spring‑back action that maintains tension on bolts and screws, preventing loosening under vibration. With an outside diameter of 0.88 inches and a lightweight profile of just 4.54 grams per piece, the washers are compact enough to fit into tight assemblies while delivering the necessary clamping force.

Designed specifically for the cycling market, these washers are ideal for securing components such as cranksets, bottom brackets, and derailleur mounts where reliable torque retention is critical. The 350‑piece pack ensures that users have ample stock for both routine maintenance and larger repair projects, reducing the need for frequent reordering. The product’s UPC 046307350004 and ASIN B00648PK70 provide easy reference for inventory management and online listings.

Beyond cycling, the Wald BB Washer’s versatile design makes it suitable for a range of industrial applications, including machinery, automotive, and general fastener reinforcement. Its flat profile allows it to sit flush against mating surfaces, distributing load evenly and minimizing the risk of surface damage. The wedge lock mechanism engages automatically as the fastener is tightened, creating a self‑locking effect that enhances joint stability.

Manufactured by Wald, a brand known for consistent quality in fastener solutions, the washer meets rigorous industry standards. The product’s best‑sellers rank of #76 in the Wedge Lock Washers category reflects its popularity among professionals who demand reliable performance. Each washer is individually inspected to ensure uniform dimensions and material integrity, guaranteeing that every piece performs as expected.

Usage

When installing the Wald BB Washer, the user should first clean the mating surfaces to remove any debris or oil that could interfere with the locking action. Place the washer directly onto the bolt head or nut, then tighten the fastener to the recommended torque specification. As the bolt is turned, the wedge shape of the washer compresses, creating a secure lock that resists loosening from vibration or thermal expansion.

These washers excel in high‑stress environments such as mountain bike frames, where constant shock and vibration are common. They also perform well in industrial settings where machinery experiences frequent start‑stop cycles, making them a reliable choice for maintaining assembly integrity over long service periods.

For DIY enthusiasts, the lightweight nature of the washers simplifies handling and reduces fatigue during repetitive installations. The 350‑piece quantity is especially beneficial for workshops that service multiple bicycles or maintain a stock of spare parts, ensuring that the right component is always on hand.
