Value Collection 42452 M6 Split Lock Washer Grade 8 Din 127

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 42452 is a metric split lock washer designed for M6 screw applications requiring reliable vibration resistance. Manufactured from Grade 8 spring steel with a zinc plated finish, this washer delivers the tension and hardness needed to prevent fastener loosening under dynamic load. The split ring design bites into mating surfaces when compressed, creating a locking effect without adhesives or thread locking compounds. With a hardness rating of 44-51 HRC, it performs consistently in demanding mechanical assemblies. Installers and maintenance technicians rely on this type of fastener hardware across a wide range of industrial and structural applications.

This split lock washer is suited for general-purpose metric fastening in manufacturing, equipment assembly, maintenance, and repair operations. The DIN 127 standard ensures dimensional conformance for use in metric bolted joints where M6 hardware is specified. It is appropriate for both light industrial and heavy-duty mechanical assemblies requiring a cost-effective locking solution. The zinc plated finish provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and moderately protected outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Grade 8 spring steel construction with 44-51 HRC hardness for reliable locking force
• DIN 127 fastener standard compliance ensures dimensional conformance in metric assemblies
• Zinc plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance
• Inside diameter range of 6.1 to 6.5mm accommodates standard M6 fasteners
• 1.6mm maximum thickness fits standard M6 bolted joint stack-ups
• Split ring design bites into mating surfaces to resist vibration-induced loosening

Compatibility

Designed for use with M6 metric fasteners in assemblies conforming to DIN 127 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Install between the fastener head or nut and the mating surface with the split ends oriented correctly to allow the washer to compress fully when torqued. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of debris before installation. Always follow the applicable fastener torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer or relevant mechanical standards. Do not reuse split lock washers that have been fully compressed, as they will not provide reliable locking force on reinstallation.
