Dual Lock Washers – >465HV Grade 27MnCrB5 Hardened Steel | GEOMET Surface Coating
FULLERKREG Dual Lock Washers in 27MnCrB5 hardened steel (>465HV) with GEOMET®-equivalent zinc-flake surface coating represent the high-performance standard for wedge-locking fasteners in heavy industrial, automotive, and structural applications. Engineered to DIN 25201 principles, each cam-faced washer pair delivers mechanical anti-loosening that intensifies under vibration and dynamic load — no adhesives, no deformation, no failure.
⚠️ Dimensional Compatibility Notice: Tolerances and mechanical specifications comparable to Nord-Lock®, Twin-Lock® and Heico-Lock® brand locking washers.

Why 27MnCrB5 + GEOMET Coating?
The combination of boron-alloyed manganese-chromium steel and zinc-flake GEOMET coating is the industry benchmark for high-load, corrosion-resistant wedge-locking washers:
- ✅ >465 HV hardness — cam geometry maintains integrity under extreme clamping forces
- ✅ GEOMET coating — superior corrosion protection without hydrogen embrittlement risk
- ✅ Chromium-free & RoHS compliant — meets EU ELV and REACH regulations
- ✅ Consistent friction coefficient — predictable preload and torque behavior
- ✅ Reusable — coating survives multiple installation/removal cycles
- ✅ No special tools required — compatible with standard bolts and nuts
How Dual Lock Washers Work
Each FULLERKREG Dual Lock Washer set consists of two identical washers with radial teeth on the outer face and wedge-shaped cams on the inner face. Installed cam-face to cam-face, the cam angle exceeds the thread pitch angle — mechanically preventing rotational loosening under vibration, shock, or thermal cycling. The harder the external force tries to loosen the bolt, the tighter the washer pair grips.
- ✅ Cam angle > thread pitch angle → self-locking under vibration
- ✅ Radial teeth bite into mating surfaces for maximum grip
- ✅ Suitable for dynamic loads, thermal cycling, and shock environments
- ✅ Works with standard hex bolts, flange bolts, and nuts
