Metric Alloy Steel Sherex TEC Series Wedge Pair Lock Washers
What are metric alloy steel Sherex TEC Series wedge pair lock washers? Metric alloy steel Sherex TEC Series wedge pair lock washers are metric-sized pairs of hardened alloy steel washers with cams and radial teeth that lock a joint using tension. Sized for metric bolts, the strong alloy steel holds clamp load against severe vibration.

How do I size metric wedge pair lock washers?
Metric TEC Series washers are sized to metric bolt diameters such as M6, M8, M10, and M12, so match the pair to your bolt's metric size. Like all wedge pair washers, they use hardened alloy steel teeth that seat into the bolt or nut and the joint surface, while the cams between the pair wedge apart when the joint tries to loosen. Because the cam angle is greater than the metric thread pitch, rotation is prevented and clamp load is held, resisting severe vibration far better than a split ring. These suit metric engines, machinery, and structural work. They are usually reusable if inspected, and not recommended for surfaces harder than the washers.
Why choose metric alloy steel Sherex TEC Series wedge pair lock washers
- Metric sizing: pairs matched to M-series bolt diameters.
- Hard and strong: alloy steel teeth bite and cams resist wear.
- Tension not friction: cams wedge apart to hold clamp load.
- Severe vibration proof: Junker-tested for the toughest joints.
Common applications for metric wedge pair lock washers
- Metric heavy vibration and shock-load joints
- Metric engines, machinery, and transport equipment
- Structural and safety-critical metric connections
- Imported equipment where standard washers fail

Metric Alloy Steel Sherex TEC Series Wedge Pair Lock Washers FAQ
What metric sizes are available?
Common metric diameters such as M6, M8, M10, and M12. Match the pair to your metric bolt size.
Are these washers reusable?
Usually yes. Inspect the pair for deformation or excessive wear before reuse, and discard if worn or damaged.
How are wedge lock washers different from split ring washers?
Wedge pair washers use tension, not friction. The cams between the pair wedge apart when the joint tries to loosen, holding clamp load, which resists far heavier vibration than a split ring.
