Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the specifications for NF 000024 flat washer?
A: NF 000024 is a 5/16 inch SAE flat washer with zinc plating (zp). It distributes bolt load and prevents fasteners from sinking into softer materials in gravity conveyor frame assemblies.
Q: What does SAE mean on the NF 000024?
A: SAE refers to Society of Automotive Engineers sizing standard. SAE washers have specific outside diameter and thickness dimensions. NF 000024 SAE washers fit standard 5/16 inch bolts and fit with SAE-specified clearances.
Q: Which gravity conveyor equipment uses 5/16 washers like NF 000024?
A: NF 000024 washers are used under bolt heads and nuts on gravity roller conveyors, frame joints, and mounting brackets from Hytrol, Honeywell, and similar OEM brands. Pair with 5/16-18 or 5/16-24 bolts.
Q: How often should NF 000024 washers be replaced?
A: Washers rarely wear out but should be replaced if they become bent, corroded, or if the zinc plating is heavily damaged. They can remain in service indefinitely if bolts stay tight and no deformation occurs.
Q: Are NF 000024 washers different from metric washers?
A: Yes. SAE flat washers like NF 000024 follow imperial sizing and are not interchangeable with metric washers. Use SAE washers only with SAE-sized bolts to ensure proper fit and load distribution.
