Self Tapping Shoulder Washers

Self-drilling and self-piercing screws are a type of fastener that combines drilling and fastening operations in a single action, removing the requirement for pre-drilling. They have a pointed head that allows the screw to self-tap into a panel. This reduces the amount of time and physical work necessary for fixing.

Easily driven into the surface with a power drill or screwdriver and provides a strong and secure hold. Ideal for use in applications where a high degree of strength and stability is required, such as in metalworking or construction.

Shoulder Washers, also known as Insulation Sleeves or Shoulder Bushes, are designed to provide electric and heat insulation for assemblies where this is a fundamental requirement. A type of stepped washer, they are made from a variety of materials and colours, these products are self lubrication, corrosion and abrasion resistant.

The step washer offering features shoulder bushes made from Nylon 6/6, These nylon sleeve washers are a self-lubricating option, great for anything that pivots or rotates. The are low coefficient of friction, and resistant of moisture, dirt and most chemicals. We also have a countersunk sleeve that is frequently applied in electro technical environments, and is compulsory by law in many countries. It prevents electrical corrosion with countersunk head screws.

Perhaps our wide selection of Insulation Sleeves is more suitable for your project needs? Made from a choice of natural Nylon 6 or black Nylon with a glass-fibre compound; these sleeves prevent contact with conducting materials, prevent parts from vibrating loose, and accurately locate and space assemblies.

Our nylon shouldered washers range extends with a selection of Locking and Sealing Washers. Locking and sealing types are sold separately. Screw Insulators available in a range of sizes, as well as high temperature options. The high temperature insulators also have options made from Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS). Or just keep it simple and browse our wide range of shoulder washer and insulating washers, that have flame resistance to a UL94 V2 standard.

Our range of Standoffs, which are commonly referred to as Hex Spacers or Standoff Pillars, are quick and easy to install thanks to their screw-in design. Our standoffs are available in both a non-undercut and undercut version. Non-undercut spacers offer greater stability, but require a washer for installation. Whereas undercut spacers are much quicker to install, and allow spacers to be stacked and do not require the use of a washer - making them a econonical solution. Our spacer range is also available in self-tapping types for mating with non-threaded fittings.

Our standoff spacers offering includes undercut male to female standoff made from either, nickel-plated brass, zinc-plated steel, aluminium or stainless steel, which are self-tapping. Female to female hex spacers made from brass, stainless steel, nickel-plated brass or zinc-plated steel. A self-tapping male to female hexagonal spacer made from nickel-plated hardened steel that's brass coloured. We also offer a round natural Nylon 6/6 push spacer.
