Hillside Washer for Heavy Machinery and Equipment 5/8″ Hot Dipped Galvanized Hillside Washer

설명

What is a Hillside Washer?

A Hillside Washer (also known as a beveled washer or sloped washer) is a specialized type of washer designed with a sloped or angled surface to compensate for uneven or non-parallel mating surfaces. It is commonly used in structural and mechanical applications where bolts or fasteners need to be secured on inclined or tapered surfaces, ensuring proper load distribution and preventing bolt bending or loosening.

Specifications of Hillside Washer

1. Material:

   • Carbon steel (Grade A36, A572)

   • Stainless steel (304, 316)

   • Alloy steel (ASTM A694)

   • Galvanized steel (for corrosion resistance)

2. Surface Treatment:

   • Zinc plating (for rust prevention)

   • Hot-dip galvanizing (for harsh environments)

   • Black oxide coating (for improved durability)

   • Plain (untreated, for standard applications)

3. Common Sizes & Dimensions:

   • Inner Diameter (ID): 1/4″ to 2″ (or custom sizes)

   • Outer Diameter (OD): 1/2″ to 4″ (varies based on application)

   • Thickness: 3mm to 12mm

   • Slope Angle: Typically 5° to 45° (adjustable per requirement)

Applications of Hillside Washers

• Structural Steel Construction (bridges, beams, and frameworks)

• Telecommunication Towers (adjusting for angled bolting)

• Heavy Machinery & Equipment (compensating for misaligned joints)

• Wind Turbine Assembly (securing bolts on tapered surfaces)

• Railway & Transportation Infrastructure (track fastening systems)

Excellent Case: Wind Turbine Tower Assembly

Scenario:
In the construction of a wind turbine tower, the base flange must be securely bolted to a concrete foundation. However, due to slight unevenness in the foundation or manufacturing tolerances, the mating surfaces may not be perfectly parallel.

Solution:
By using Hillside Washers under the bolt heads or nuts, the load is evenly distributed, preventing excessive stress on the bolts. This ensures long-term stability, reduces the risk of bolt fatigue, and maintains structural integrity even under high wind loads.

Result:

• Improved bolt alignment and tension distribution

• Reduced risk of loosening due to vibrations

• Extended lifespan of the turbine’s foundation
