Reliable Screw Washers – Definition, Industrial Uses & Sinsun Advantages

Sinsun’s complete nylon washer classification — flat washers, shoulder washers, lock washers, fender washers, sealing washers, and custom ODM components. Materials include Nylon 6/6, Nylon 6/12, and Nylon 12.

  • Sinsun is a professional manufacturer of non-metallic fasteners. We adopt virgin PA6/PA66 raw materials without recycled fillers to strictly produce high-purity nylon washers. Most generic nylon washers are made of mixed recycled materials, which result in unstable insulation performance, easy deformation and low temperature resistance. We optimise the material formula and one-time precision stamping moulding to ensure uniform density, flat surface and stable mechanical elasticity of every finished product.

  • Nylon washers can be used to fill assembly gaps and spread out bolt fastening pressure on plastic, wood and precision electronic substrates. The high elastic cushioning property compensates for small mechanical vibration during equipment operation, reducing friction noise and assembly loosening risk. The non-conductive structure prevents current transmission and eliminates the possibility of short circuits and leakages in electrical equipment assemblies.

Nylon Washer Types – Complete Sinsun Range for Every Industrial Application

Sinsun’s complete nylon washer classification — flat washers, shoulder washers, lock washers, fender washers, sealing washers, and custom ODM components. Materials include Nylon 6/6, Nylon 6/12, and Nylon 12.

  • Nylon Flat Washers

    Nylon Flat Washers

    Most specified type of nylon washer for general industrial applications. The Sinsun nylon flat washers are used for three main purposes. 1. To distribute the load under bolt heads and nuts. 2. To space components to prevent direct contact. 3. To protect surfaces on painted or soft materials. It is constructed from Nylon 6/6 (PA66) for maximum strength and heat resistance up to 120°C and is the standard choice for most industrial applications. We also stock Nylon 6/12 (PA612) which has 50% less moisture absorption than PA66 and is the right choice for humid environments where dimensional stability is mission-critical.

  • Nylon Shoulder Washers

    Nylon Shoulder Washers

    A shoulder washer is a flat washer flange with an integral cylindrical bushing (the “shoulder”). The shoulder fits into the mounting hole, centring the fastener and preventing metal to metal contact across the hole wall. Our Sinsun nylon shoulder washers have two critical functions; 1. Electrical insulation - the bushing insulates screw shank from the conductive chassis, which prevents short circuit. Second , soft material protection - the shoulder prevents fastener pull-through on thin panels and plastic housings . Made of Nylon 6/6, UL 94 V-2 flame rated for electronic use, ASTM D4066.

  • Nylon Lock Washers

    Nylon Lock Washers

    Standard split lock washers made from steel are abrasive on painted surfaces, can damage plastic housings and can cause galvanic corrosion when used with stainless bolts on aluminium. With our Sinsun nylon lock washers you get vibration resistance without the risk. The nylon has a slight elasticity and is compressed under the bolt torque . This stores energy in opposition to the rotational loosening.

  • Nylon Fender Washers

    Nylon Fender Washers

    When fastening through sheet metal, fibreglass, plastic panels, or soft wood, the outer diameter of a standard washer may not be sufficient to prevent pull-through. Our Sinsun nylon fender washers have an outer diameter approximately three times the inner diameter - much larger than standard flat washers - distributing the clamping load over a much larger area. Made of nylon 6/6 for strength or nylon 6/12 for moisture critical applications. The nylon material is non-conductive, providing electrical isolation when bolted through metal panels.

  • Nylon Sealing Washers

    Nylon Sealing Washers

    The seal is watertight and airtight around the fastener shank . This is different than using a metal washer which requires a separate gasket or sealant . Our bonded nylon sealing washers compress under the torque of the bolt . Made from a slightly deformable nylon material, it adapts itself to surface irregularities and prevents leaks without the need for PTFE tape or liquid sealants. Sinsun nylon sealing washers resist water, air, mild chemicals and many solvents. They are ideal for use in plumbing fixtures, tap connections, pipe unions, garden hose fittings and hydraulic systems.

Nylon Washer Applications –  Critical Scenarios Where Non-Metal Beats Metal

Diverse industrial application scenarios of Sinsun nylon washers, covering electronic insulation, automotive vibration reduction, furniture assembly and new energy equipment.

  • 1

    Furniture and Lighting Design Engineering

    Sinsun nylon washers protect the low-density substrate from damage caused by bolt pressure in wooden furniture, aluminium alloy doors and windows and interior decoration assemblies.Assembly gaps are well filled and no loose fastening occurs due to wood shrinkage and metal thermal expansion. The hidden installation improves the overall decorative appearance and the stability of structural tightness.
  • 2

    Assembly of New Energy and Intelligence Devices

    For safe assembly of high-tech energy battery equipment, intelligent sensor devices, and communication facilities, choose Sinsun nylon washers. Lightweight nylon material reduces overall equipment load without compromising fastening stability.Superior insulation and anti-jamming performance prevent signal distortion and circuit failure caused by metal conduction, which meets the high-precision assembly standards of the intelligent and new energy industries.
  • 3

    Vibration Reduction for Automotive/Vehicle Interior

    Sinsun nylon washers are widely used in automotive interior parts, instrument panels and door panel assemblies. The elastic nylon construction absorbs vehicle driving vibrations and the engine.In addition to reducing noise, these washers also improve the comfort of the vehicle's interior. They also prevent contact corrosion between different metal parts inside the car, and therefore extend automotive fastening structures' service life.
