Description
The M20 Step Washer is a precision-machined stepped washer used in specific locations throughout Virtus Equipment and ZERMA America granulators and shredders. Unlike standard flat washers, the stepped profile provides a raised shoulder that fits into a corresponding recess or bore in the mating component, simultaneously distributing the clamping load of the M20 fastener and providing precise positional location for the assembly. This dual function makes the step washer position-specific — it is not a general-purpose washer and must be installed in the correct location as specified in your machine’s parts documentation.
