DIN 127 Type B Helical Spring Lock Washer — A2 Stainless Steel (SUS304), Whitened & Passivated
FULLERKREG DIN 127 Type B helical spring lock washers are manufactured to DIN 127 standard in A2 stainless steel (SUS304 / 1.4301) with a whitened and passivated surface finish. DIN 127 lock washers are among the most commonly used metric lock washers — the split helical design creates a spring-like action that resists loosening caused by vibration and dynamic loads. Type B (the standard type) has a slightly larger outer diameter and greater strength than Type A. A2 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance for general industrial, food processing, and outdoor applications.

How DIN 127 Lock Washers Work
DIN 127 helical spring lock washers function through a combination of two mechanisms:
-
Spring-back tension: The helical split creates a spring that maintains clamp load as the joint settles, compensating for relaxation and embedding losses
-
Bite-in effect: The sharp edges at the split ends bite into both the bearing surface and the nut/bolt head, resisting rotational loosening under vibration
-
Type B advantage: Greater width (B dimension) and thickness (S) vs. Type A — higher spring force and load capacity for demanding applications
Application Scenarios
-
General machinery & equipment assembly — wherever vibration loosening is a concern
-
Food processing & pharmaceutical equipment — A2 stainless is hygienic and easy to clean
-
Chemical processing plants — resistance to mild acids and alkalis
-
Outdoor & architectural hardware — weather-resistant without surface coating
-
Electrical enclosures & control panels — non-magnetic, no interference with sensitive electronics
-
Automotive & transportation — engine compartments, chassis, and suspension assemblies
-
HVAC & piping systems — vibration-prone ductwork and equipment mounting
-
Marine (above waterline) — suitable for non-immersed saltwater-adjacent environments

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between DIN 127 Type A and Type B?
A: Type B (standard type) has a larger outer diameter and greater width (B dimension) than Type A, resulting in higher spring force and load capacity. Type B is the more commonly specified and stocked type. FULLERKREG supplies Type B as standard.
Q: How does a helical spring lock washer prevent loosening?
A: The split helical design creates spring-back tension that maintains clamp load as the joint settles. The sharp edges at the split ends also bite into the bearing surface and fastener, resisting rotational loosening under vibration and dynamic loads.
Q: What is A2 stainless steel?
A: A2 refers to austenitic stainless steel grade 304 (SUS304 / 1.4301) per ISO 3506. It contains approximately 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance in most atmospheric and freshwater environments. It is non-magnetic and suitable for food-contact applications.
Q: Is A2 stainless suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. A2 stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance in outdoor atmospheric conditions, fresh water, and mild chemical environments. For seawater or chloride-rich environments, A4 (SUS316) is recommended.
Q: Are these washers RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. FULLERKREG A2 stainless steel lock washers are fully RoHS and REACH compliant. Compliance documentation is available upon request.
Q: Can I order mixed sizes?
A: Yes. FULLERKREG supports mixed-size wholesale orders. Please contact us with your size breakdown and quantities for a custom quotation.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available for all orders upon request.
