DIN 6797A External Tooth Lock Washer (Shakeproof) — A2 Stainless Steel (SUS304), Whitened & Passivated
FULLERKREG DIN 6797A external tooth lock washers are manufactured to DIN 6797 Form A standard in A2 stainless steel (SUS304 / 1.4301 / 0Cr18Ni9) with a whitened and passivated surface finish. DIN 6797 Form A features external teeth (on the outer diameter) with a deeper, more aggressive tooth profile than DIN 6798A, providing maximum anti-loosening performance through mechanical engagement at the largest possible tooth radius. Also known as shakeproof washers, DIN 6797 washers are widely specified in electrical, automotive, and high-vibration applications. A2 stainless steel provides excellent general corrosion resistance, non-magnetic properties, and food-safe compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is DIN 6797 Form A?
A: DIN 6797 Form A is an external tooth lock washer (shakeproof washer). The teeth are on the outer diameter with a deeper, more aggressive profile than DIN 6798A. They bite into the substrate surface under the bolt head or nut, providing maximum mechanical anti-loosening at the largest possible tooth radius.
Q: What is the difference between DIN 6797 and DIN 6798?
A: DIN 6797 (shakeproof) has a deeper, more aggressive tooth profile providing stronger anti-loosening engagement. DIN 6798 (serrated) has a shallower standard serration for general industrial use. DIN 6797 is preferred for electrical, automotive, and high-vibration applications.
Q: Form A vs. Form J — which to choose?
A: Form A (external) maximizes anti-loosening torque by acting at the largest radius — best for maximum performance. Form J (internal) preserves the outer substrate surface — best when outer appearance must be maintained.
Q: Is A2 stainless steel food-safe?
A: Yes. A2 (SUS304) is widely used in food processing and pharmaceutical equipment. Non-toxic, easy to clean, resistant to most food-contact environments.
Q: Do you provide material test certificates?
A: Yes. Mill certificates, chemical composition reports, and dimensional inspection reports are available upon request.
