DIN 12 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for spring lock washer. The full dimensional table is reproduced below, followed by the DIN, ISO and ASME parts that match or supersede it. - **Standard:** DIN 12 - **Product:** Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080) - **Governing standards:** GB/T 93 / DIN 127B Equivalence between national standards is dimensional, not always metallurgical. Check the property class separately when substituting. ![DIN 12 Spring Lock Washer Specification reference image](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Spring-Lock-Washers-—-ISO-7980-／-DIN-127-Detail.webp) Specification summary of DIN 12 as applied to spring lock washer: the dimensions the standard fixes, the full size range supplied, and the related designations commonly cross-referenced. ## DIN 12 — Scope The table below lists the dimensions catalogued for spring lock washer — gb/t 93 / din 127b (series 080) under DIN 12. The scope of DIN 12 itself is not summarised here — where a figure matters, confirm it against the published document. ## Tolerance & Product Grades Product grade is a concept from dimensional fastener standards and does not apply to DIN 12. Tolerances for this part are the limits shown against each dimension in the table. ## Dimensions Specified by DIN 12 | For bolt size | Inner diameter d1 (mm) | Outer diameter d2 (mm) | Width b (mm) | Thickness t (mm) | Reference standard | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | M3 | 3.1 | 6.2 | 1.0 | 0.8 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M4 | 4.1 | 7.6 | 1.2 | 1.0 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M5 | 5.1 | 9.2 | 1.5 | 1.2 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M6 | 6.1 | 11.8 | 2.0 | 1.6 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M8 | 8.1 | 14.8 | 2.5 | 2.0 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M10 | 10.2 | 18.1 | 3.0 | 2.5 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M12 | 12.2 | 21.1 | 3.5 | 3.0 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M14 | 14.2 | 24.1 | 4.0 | 3.5 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M16 | 16.2 | 27.4 | 4.5 | 4.0 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M18 | 18.2 | 29.4 | 5.0 | 4.5 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M20 | 20.2 | 33.6 | 5.5 | 5.0 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M24 | 24.5 | 40.1 | 6.5 | 6.0 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | | M30 | 30.5 | 50.0 | 8.0 | 7.5 | GB/T 93 / DIN 127B | ## Equivalent Standards Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry. ## Companion Standards A complete specification for spring lock washer — gb/t 93 / din 127b (series 080) normally cites several documents: one for the geometry, one for the material or mechanical properties, and one for the finish. DIN 12 is one of them, not all of them. Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing ## Need a washer to this standard in a non-standard size? Parts built to DIN 12 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by stamping or punching. Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Stocked from M3 to M30 (nominal bolt size). ### Industries that specify Spring Lock Washer - **Timber & construction:** Large-diameter washers that stop pull-through in softer material. - **Rotating & vibrating plant:** Spring, tooth and wedge types that maintain or lock bolt tension. - **Steel fabrication:** Spreading load under a head or nut and protecting the surface finish. - **Machine building & OEM:** Setting bearing area on soft alloy, plastic and oversized holes. ### Typical applications - spreading clamp load over a soft or oversized bearing face - protecting a painted or plated surface under a turned nut - maintaining bolt tension in a joint that settles ### Service conditions to specify against - **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit. - **Vibration:** Specified where cyclic load would loosen a plain nut or screw — rotating plant, rail, mobile equipment and anything that is not re-torqued in service. - **Hardness matters:** Under a high-strength bolt a soft washer embeds into the joint and preload is lost — specify a hardened washer for structural bolting. [Full application guide: where Spring Lock Washer are used, how to specify them, and the cases they are wrong for](https://engineeringhardware.com/applications/cad-svg-080-springwasher/) Inside the plant ## Manufactured in our own plant This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided. 1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift. 2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g. 3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1. 4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Can I substitute DIN 12 for the corresponding DIN standard on a drawing? On modern drawings the ISO standard is the master reference; the older DIN equivalent is a cross-reference. For most dimensional purposes the parts are interchangeable, but check tolerance grades and the head height — these are the most common points of divergence. ### Which edition of DIN 12 does this table follow? The table reproduces the dimensions we supply spring lock washer — gb/t 93 / din 127b (series 080) to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting. ### How do I request a quotation? Use the technical drawing on this page to pick the exact configuration, then submit it with the quote form. We respond within one business day. ## Related Pages [View the full Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080) page](https://engineeringhardware.com/fastener/cad-svg-080-springwasher/) ### More Spring Lock Washer — GB/T 93 / DIN 127B (Series 080) Guides
