DIN 432 – External Tab Washer

This 3D model represents a DIN 432 – External Tab Washer. External Tab Washers are mechanical components designed to serve as locking devices in fastening assemblies.The functionality of these external tabs is crucial in preventing unintended loosening of fasteners, such as bolts or nuts, within a mechanical system. When the External Tab Washer is installed, the external tabs are bent or folded outward to engage with the surrounding components. This engagement creates a locking effect, inhibiting the rotation or movement of the fastener.
