NFE washers comply with French standards for flat and special washers. At CHAVESBAO, we offer several NFE series designed to provide load support and distribution solutions in mechanical fastenings, with different geometries and widths that can be adapted to various materials, thicknesses and types of fasteners.
Their dimensional variety makes them a useful technical alternative to DIN and ISO metric washers, especially in metalwork, machining and industrial installations.
NFE 25513 washers are standard flat washers and are classified according to their external width:
This classification makes it easier to select a support surface that is suitable for the thickness and rigidity of the base material. The L and LL variants offer a larger outer diameter, which improves load distribution on thin sheets or light profiles, acting as an alternative to DIN 9021 wide washers.
Available in zinc-plated steel and A2/A4 stainless steel, they are suitable for both indoor applications and outdoor installations or areas with humidity. >
NFE 25514 washers maintain the same dimensional classification (Z, M, L, LL), but are thicker and more rigid in construction. They are recommended for joints where a flat washer capable of withstanding greater stresses or preventing deformation of the support surface is required, especially in machinery, metal structures or assemblies with higher loads. Like the 25513, they are available in zinc-plated and stainless steel A2/A4, covering a wide range of conditions of use..
The NFE 25511 standard groups together conical washers, designed to increase friction under the screw head thanks to their inclined geometry.
Although they are not spring washers, they do provide a more stable seat than a standard flat washer, which improves performance in assemblies subject to slight vibration or small load variations. >They are used in metal fasteners, electrical equipment, supports and machined parts where firmer support is required without the need for a more complex anti-loosening system.
Each NFE series fulfils a specific function within mechanical assemblies:
The availability of different widths (Z, M, L, LL) allows for optimised load distribution in thin sheets, soft materials or light profiles, adjusting the washer to the behaviour of the screw-material assembly.
