The Strength and Durability of Bonded Saddle® Washers in Harsh Environments
Bonded Saddle® washers are essential for enhancing the security and longevity of various installations. These specialized washers, used with screws and Bonded Washers, provide additional fastening strength and are designed to endure even the most demanding environmental conditions. This article explores the benefits of Bonded Saddle® washers, their key applications, and the materials that make them a vital component across industries.
What Are Bonded Saddle® Washers?
Bonded Saddle® washers are designed to work in tandem with screws and Bonded Washers, offering enhanced security, especially in situations where loosening due to vibration or external forces is a concern. Their saddle-like shape ensures a secure fit over curved surfaces, effectively distributing pressure across the fastened material.
Materials and Durability
At KCS Enterprise Company Limited, we manufacture Bonded Saddle® Washers using type 316 stainless steel, specifically selected for its superior corrosion resistance in harsh weather conditions. This material is highly effective in marine environments, where exposure to saltwater is common.
We also offer Bonded Saddle® Washers made from 304 stainless steel, aluminum, or galvanized steel. These materials are bonded with high-quality EPDM/Rubber, Neoprene/Rubber, or EPDM-Sponge, offering excellent weather resistance and durability, even in extreme conditions.
