Description
The Spring Washer DIN 127-M8 is a precision-engineered locking component designed for use with M8 fasteners throughout Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders. Manufactured to DIN 127 standards, this split spring washer features a helical design that creates a constant spring force between the fastener head and the mating surface. As the bolt is tightened, the washer compresses and exerts continuous outward pressure that resists loosening caused by vibration, thermal cycling, and dynamic loads — all of which are common in heavy-duty industrial material processing equipment. The hardened steel construction and precise geometry ensure reliable performance across repeated assembly and disassembly cycles, making this washer an essential component in any comprehensive equipment maintenance program.

Industrial-Grade Finish: Protective surface treatment provides corrosion resistance in demanding processing environments
Applications: A vital fastening accessory for granulator and shredder assembly, maintenance, and repair operations. Used in conjunction with M8 bolts and screws to secure cutting chamber components, bearing housings, access panels, motor mounts, frame assemblies, and other equipment connections subject to vibration and dynamic loading. Well-suited for preventive maintenance programs and component replacement in plastics recycling facilities, manufacturing plants, and industrial material processing operations.
Installation Guidelines:
Always install the spring washer between the fastener head and the mating surface or flat washer
Ensure the washer is fully compressed and seated flat upon reaching final torque
Use in combination with the appropriate M8 bolt or cap screw for optimal locking performance
Torque fastener to manufacturer’s specifications using a calibrated torque wrench
Inspect washer condition prior to reuse and replace if any deformation or loss of spring tension is observed
Maintenance & Inspection:
Inspect during scheduled maintenance for signs of flattening, corrosion, or cracking
Replace any washer that has been fully compressed and lost its spring tension
Never reuse a washer that shows signs of deformation or fatigue
Keep an adequate stock of replacement washers on hand to support efficient equipment servicing
