A chamfered washer is a type of washer with an angled edge, designed to provide a better fit with a bolt heads. Chamfered washers are often used in applications where precise alignment is critical, such as in heavy machinery, automotive components, and structural assemblies. The chamfer edge of the washer also aids in creating a smooth transition between the fastener head and the material surface, which can prevent unnecessary wear and increase the lifespan of both the fastener and the components.
Our chamfered washers are available in various materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and other metals, making them suitable for different environments and applications. They are commonly used in conjunction with bolts and screws, where alignment and distribution of load are essential. Freeway has the capabilities to manufacture washers with a single chamfer (either on the OD or the ID), a double chamfered washer (same side OD and ID), or a double ID chamfer.

The chamfer on the inside diameter (ID) of a washer offers several important benefits, particularly in applications where precise alignment, load distribution, and durability are critical. Here are the key advantages:
Overall, an ID chamfer improves both the performance and longevity of fastener assemblies, particularly in demanding environments.
A chamfer on the outside diameter (OD) of a washer offers several important benefits, especially in applications that require improved load distribution, smooth transitions, and enhanced durability. Here’s a breakdown of the key advantages:
A chamfer washer is a specialized type of washer with an angled edge, typically on the inner diameter (ID), outer diameter (OD), or both. The chamfer allows the washer to accommodate specific types of fasteners, such as bolts with a chamfered head or applications requiring the washer to sit flush against a sloped or angled surface.
The purpose of a chamfer washer is to help ensure a secure connection and distribute load evenly, especially in situations where regular washers would not fit properly. They are commonly used in high-stress applications such as automotive, construction, and industrial equipment.
There are many benefits to chamfering a washer. Chamfering is used to improve fit, reduce wear and tear, and reduce risk of fastener loosening. Chamfering can also be used to orientate washers that are being bowl fed to where they are being assembled
