Our A2 Stainless Steel M18 Long Tab Washer DIN 93 is a locking washer designed to prevent rotation of fasteners during and after installation. Featuring an extended tab that locks into a corresponding slot or keyway, these washers provide enhanced stability in bolted assemblies, making them ideal for applications where loosening due to vibration or torque is a concern.

This product has a flat profile with a protruding long tab that is bent upwards or positioned to engage with the assembly surface or component. Manufactured to the DIN 93 specification using high-performance A2 (304) or A4 (316 Marine Grade) stainless steel, these washers offer excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Available in metric sizes from M4 to M39, they are compatible with a wide range of fasteners and are suitable for use in environments where high durability and anti-loosening performance are required.

What are Long Tab Washers?

Long Tab Washers are a type of lock washer specifically engineered to stop the rotation of nuts, bolts, or screws by physically obstructing movement. The defining feature is the long tab that extends from the washer's edge and is bent or slotted into a recess, bolt head, or assembly feature to create a mechanical lock. When installed, this tab prevents the washer and fastener from turning, even under intense vibration or thermal cycling. These are particularly useful in critical load-bearing assemblies where joint integrity is paramount.
