Metric DIN 127 Helical Spring Split Lock Washers are commonly used metric lock washers – It is a split metal ring
that is bent into a helical shape. Split Lock Washers are a left hand helix and allow the nut to be tightened in a
right hand direction only. When compressed by tightening the nut, the washer bites into the substrate and exerts
a spring force between the bolt and the substrate creating frictional resistance to rotation. Aspen Fasteners offers
over 500,000 unique fastener products from stock in inch and metric standard in a variety of materials and
finishes. The following sizes of DIN 127 Helical Spring Lock Washers are available for immediate shipping from
stock: Diameters ranging from M3 to M72 in steel and stainless steel A2 and A4. View parts by clicking on the
following link: DIN 127 Helical Spring Lock Washers

DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung - German Institute for Standardization) standards are issued for a variety
of components including industrial fasteners as Metric DIN 127 Helical Spring Split Lock Washers. The DIN
standards remain common in Germany, Europe and globally even though the transition to ISO standards is
taking place. DIN standards continue to be used for parts which do not have ISO equivalents or for which
there is no need for standardization as in the case for DIN 127 Helical Spring Split Lock Washers.

1) Mechanical properties of stainless steel for metric DIN 127 Helical Spring Split Lock Washers

Stainless steels can be divided into three groups of steel - austenitic, ferritic and martensitic. Austenitic steel is by far
the most common type (>90% of commercial fasteners). The steel groups and strength classes are designated by a
four-digit sequence of letters and numbers (eg A2-70) as shown in the following table. DIN EN ISO 3506 governs
screws and nuts made from stainless steel.

Screws, Nuts and Bolts

Tensile Tensile
Strength strength strength Dia range Nut Load
Steel group Steel grade N/mm2 PSI
class N/mm2

50 500 70,000 <=M39 500

Austenitic A2 and A4 70 700 100,000 <=M20 700
80 800 118,000 <=M20 800
The tensile stress is calculated with reference to the tensile stress area (see DIN EN ISO 3506-1979). Nuts to be paired with same
grade of stainless steel screws
