Nickel Gasket

Product Overview

The Nickel Gasket is a high-performance washer engineered for precision assemblies, designed to provide smooth rotation, strong connection, and long-lasting durability. It is made from high-carbon steel with advanced surface treatments and participates in the friction of moving parts, efficiently generating torque.

Our Nickel Gasket belongs to the high-performance high carbon flat washers / high carbon steel washers / carbon steel washers series, delivering reliable rotational feel and enhanced torque transmission. It is ideal for shafts, hinges, and hardware assemblies where longevity and operational stability are critical.

With carefully controlled material, hardness, and surface treatment, this product achieves exceptional friction performance, rotational stability, and wear resistance—ensuring that your assembly maintains high reliability over time.

Key Specifications

Why It Achieves Smooth Rotation, Strong Connection, and Long Life

1. Material Strength: The use of 65Mn / SK5 / SK7 high-carbon steel gives the gasket high tensile strength and fatigue resistance. This ensures it can withstand repeated rotational forces without deformation, providing a strong connection.

2. Optimal Hardness (HRC 43–50): The controlled hardness ensures enough elasticity to participate in friction without wearing down quickly, while still maintaining dimensional stability. This contributes to smooth rotational feel and long service life.

3. Precise Dimensions: With OD 1.7–24 mm, ID 0.82–12.05 mm, and thickness 0.5–1.5 mm, the gasket perfectly fits micro to medium shafts, ensuring consistent friction torque, reducing slippage, and providing stable rotational control.

4. Advanced Surface Treatment: Environmental Nickel, Chemical Nickel, Black Oxide, and Zinc-Nickel Alloy improve corrosion resistance and surface hardness. This prevents rust and wear in harsh environments, maintaining smooth operation over long-term use.

5. Friction Participation: By actively engaging in the friction between moving parts, the Nickel Gasket distributes torque evenly, preventing sudden jerks or backlash and enhancing the tactile rotational feel.

Applications

Nickel Gaskets are widely used in industries requiring precise friction, torque control, and corrosion resistance:

1. Hardware & Fasteners:

• Hinges: Provide controlled rotational friction and reduce loosening.

• Locks & handles: Maintain stable torque transmission and enhance opening/closing feel.

2. Shafts & Bearings:

• Micro-motors, gearboxes, and precision shafts benefit from smoother torque control and longer component life.

3. Assembly Components:

• Works with high carbon flat washers / carbon steel washers to form anti-loosening and anti-vibration structures in bolts, clamps, and rotary parts.

4. Consumer Electronics & Precision Instruments:

• Printers, cameras, medical micro-drive components, and similar devices gain consistent rotational feel and reliability.

How to Use:

• Choose the appropriate ID for the shaft and match OD/thickness according to your assembly requirements.

• Install directly on the shaft or combine with flat washers to enhance torque control.

• Suitable for dry or lightly lubricated environments; nickel plating improves corrosion resistance.

• Correct selection and installation deliver smooth rotation, stable connection, and extended service life by ensuring even torque distribution and preventing wear.

FAQ

Q1: what does a flat washer do
A: A flat washer distributes pressure evenly over a surface, reduces wear between the fastener and the material, and helps prevent loosening of connections.

Q2: what is a flat wash
A: A flat washer is a thin disk with a hole in the center that supports bolts, screws, or shafts, providing a smooth bearing surface and reducing friction during assembly.

Q3: Can custom sizes or surface treatments be provided?
A: Yes, we support customization for OD/ID/thickness and surface treatments, including Environmental Nickel, Chemical Nickel, Black Oxide, and Zinc-Nickel Alloy.

Q4: What is the MOQ?
A: No strict minimum order quantity. Stocked items are available for immediate shipment for samples, small orders, or bulk supply.

Q5: How is quality ensured?
A: Material inspection, heat treatment, hardness testing (HRC 43–50), and dimensional tolerance checks ensure reliable performance and long service life.
