Description
This passage describes the features and uses of a nylon 6/6 shoulder washer, which is an off-white plastic piece that is used to protect fasteners and minimize corrosion. The material is strong, lightweight, and nonconductive, and can resist abrasion, corrosion, and chemicals. Washers can also be used for various purposes such as distributing load, spacing, and locking. Different styles of washers are available for different applications, with the most common being flat washers.
The off-white nylon 6/6 shoulder washer, also called an insulator or shoulder spacer, offers a bearing surface and provides a protective barrier around a fastener to help minimize corrosion. Nylon 6/6 provides resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and many chemicals and solvents. The material is a strong yet lightweight plastic and is nonconductive. Nylon 6/6 can either absorb or lose moisture, which may alter its dimensions and mechanical properties.Washers distribute the load of a fastener across a surface and can also be used as spacers, springs, shims, or locking devices. Several different washer styles fit a variety of application and installation requirements. The most common style is a flat washer. More specialized washers provide additional benefits. A cup washer, for example, helps protect fasteners from electrical currents, while a lock washer offers additional security in an assembled workpiece.
