Ribbed Safety Lock Washer S Series - Regular Duty | A2 Stainless Steel (SUS304)
FULLERKREG Ribbed Safety Lock Washers S Series (Regular Duty) conform to DIN 9250 Type S. These conical washers feature fine radial ribs (serrations) on both bearing faces. Under bolt load, the conical profile flattens elastically, maintaining clamp force, while the ribs bite into mating surfaces to prevent rotation and self-loosening - even under severe vibration, thermal cycling, and dynamic loads.

How It Works - Schnorr Ribbed Safety Lock Washer
The S Series washer operates on two simultaneous locking mechanisms:
- 🔩 Conical spring action - the cone profile stores elastic energy under bolt load. As the bolt tends to loosen, the washer pushes back, maintaining clamp force and preventing loss of pre-load.
- 🔒 Radial rib grip - fine ribs on both faces bite into the bolt head/nut bearing surface and the joint surface, creating mechanical resistance to rotation in both directions.
Washers can be stacked in the same direction to multiply spring force, or in opposite directions (back-to-back) to increase deflection range while maintaining locking grip.
Standard & Compliance
DIN 9250 specifies ribbed safety lock washers (Schnorr-type) in two series:
-
Type S - Regular Duty (standard dimensions, this page)
-
Type VS - Heavy Duty (increased thickness and cone height)
DIN 9250 is functionally equivalent to and cross-referenced with:
- NFE 25-511 (French standard, serrated conical washers)
- ISO 10673 (plain washers, related geometry)
- Schnorr original specification (industry reference)
FULLERKREG washers are manufactured to full DIN 9250 Type S dimensional compliance. Material certification (EN 10204 3.1) available on request for bulk orders.
