Shakeproof Washers – UK Distributor

We are on of the UK’s leading distributors of External and Internal Shakeproof Washers.

Shakeproof Washers contain a serrated edge which enables is to be held in place by biting into the surface. They are used in applications where there are fastenings with a larger head which will resist the force of the washer being compressed as well as holding the surface.

These Washers are available to purchase directly through our online store.

Bright Zinc Plate & Zinc-Yellow Plate

Here at Caleb Components, we can offer a wide range of our non-threaded fasteners in a bright zinc plate or zinc-yellow finish.

This plating is most commonly used as a corrosion resistance against rain-water, which extends the products life.

The process of bright zinc plating:

  1. The part is thoroughly cleaned.
  2. The part is then electroplated using a electrolytic solution which contains zinc. The layer of zinc is then deposited onto the products surface.
  3. Then, the part goes through the ‘passivation’ process, to help improve its corrosion resistance, and add colour to the parts plating. For example, clear, yellow or black.
  4. For high-tensile parts, a de-embrittlement process may be applied post treatment, which helps to prevent parts becoming brittle after plating.
  5. A sealing coat can also be added to the part at the end of the process, to also help with the corrosion resistance.

    Titanium Fasteners

    Titanium is a known for being a light-weight and corrosion resistance material, with high tensile strength. This makes it the perfect material to use in industries such as aerospace, industrial, automotive and medical applications.

    It offers a strong corrosion resistance in elements such as salt-water (subsea conditions) and other harsh environments. It is also up to 45% lighter than normal steel, but is denser than aluminum.

    We can offer high quality bespoke products in titanium material. Please contact us today for a free quotation, using the contact form below.

      A4 (316) Stainless Steel

      A4 (AISI 316) grade stainless steel is a highly corrosive stainless steel that contains molybdenum. It has a higher Nickel content to that of A2 stainless steel.

      A2 Stainless = 18/8 Stainless (18% chromium, 8% nickel)

      A4 Stainless = 18/10 Stainless (18% chromium, 10% nickel)

      Here are some key features of A4 Stainless Steel:

      • This grade contains anti-corrosive properties making a great choice for marine applications.
      • The molybdenum content within this stainless, increases the corrosion resistance to withstand attack from industrial chemicals, chlorides and solvents.
      • This grade of stainless is also used in surgical environments, as it’s smooth surface and anti-corrosive properties makes it easy to clean.
      • A4 Stainless has long durability.

      Here at Caleb Components, we can offer a wide range of our non-threaded fasteners in A4 Stainless Steel, including Circlips, E-Clips, Spring Tension Pins (Roll Pins) and Cotter Pins.

      Please contact us today for a free quotation.

      Stainless Steel Spring Pins/Roll Pins

      Slotted Spring Tension Pins, also known as Roll Pins, are simply a single coil of steel with an open slot, this will enable the pin to reduce its diameter, so that it can be easily inserted into the appropriate size hole. The most common form of Spring Pin is the Heavy Duty type, and conform to ISO 8752 (DIN 1481) standards.

      We offer A2 Stainless Spring Tension Pins off the shelf, however A4 (316) Stainless can be quoted for upon request.

      Check out full range of A2 Stainless Spring Tension Pins online using the link below.
