An adjustment washer (also known as a clearance washer or support washer) according to DIN 988 is a thin circular or square piece used to compensate for axial and radial clearances between mechanical parts. These washers are commonly used in the assembly and mounting of mechanical components such as bearings, gears and sleeves to ensure a precise fit between the parts and prevent unwanted movement.

Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.

Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.

Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.

Advantage:

Precise compensation: DIN 988 washers precisely compensate for gaps between components, ensuring precision and stability in mechanical assembly. Material Versatility: These washers can be made from a variety of materials such as spring steel, stainless steel, etc. to suit different application environments and corrosion resistance needs. Surface treatment: The surface of the washers may be oxidized, galvanized or otherwise treated to improve corrosion and wear resistance.

Scope of Application

Mechanical assembly: used to compensate for gaps between mechanical components, such as the mounting of bearings, gears and sleeves. Automotive industry: In automotive manufacturing, for the precise assembly of engines, transmissions and other critical components. Aerospace industry: In the field of aviation, for ensuring the precise fit and structural stability of aircraft components. Industrial equipment: In a wide range of industrial equipment, for adjusting and fixing components to improve the operational efficiency and reliability of the equipment.
