(0.035-inch, 0.043-inch, 0.050-inch, 0.073-inch) are acceptable for the application described herein.
The washer serves two purposes:
•
To spread out the load. When a washer IS NOT used, the bolt head
(without a washer)
concentrates the load in a smaller area, creating focused stress on the steel bracket, making
premature failure possible. A steel washer is recommended to spread this load over a larger surface
area.
•
To keep the bolt in place. The recommended Belleville washer maintains tension in the bolted
assembly and prevents it from vibrating loose.
If a Belleville washer is not available, a regular flat washer measuring in diameter of 1inch (minimum)
can be used in conjunction with a suitable split lock washer situated between the bolt head and flat
washer.
