Common Applications for M18 Spring Lock Washers

M18 Spring Lock Washers are commonly specified for high-load load-spreading on structural joints.

Installation Tips for M18 Spring Lock Washers

  • At M18 the stretch in the bolt becomes the controlling factor — for critical joints, use angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening instead of pure torque.

Mating Parts for M18

A M18 flat washer pairs with a M18 bolt/screw and matching M18 nut.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grip range is typical for M18 structural bolts?

Grip ranges are highly application-dependent at M18. As a guide, choose a length that gives at least 1× the thread diameter engagement in the nut plus 2–3 thread pitches projecting.

Which washer dimensions matter most for M18?

For a flat washer, the outside diameter (the bearing surface) and the thickness control how the load is spread under the head and how much elastic preload is preserved. The inside diameter must clear the bolt body but not be so large that the head bears mostly on the washer's outer rim.

What is the coarse-thread pitch of M18 for Spring Lock Washers?

For M18 the standard coarse pitch is 2.5 mm — this is the value used for Spring Lock Washers.

What clearance and tapping drill suit M18?

Use a 20 mm clearance hole (ISO 273 medium) for through-fixing, or a 15.5 mm tapping drill for a coarse M18 thread.
