Tapered washer for Favelle Favco

The AFTM-1600-0F00 tapered washer serves as a specialized fastening component within Favelle Favco crane structures. Its primary function is to create a level and secure bearing surface for nuts or bolt heads when the mounting surface is not perfectly perpendicular to the bolt axis. By compensating for these angular variations, the washer ensures that clamping force is distributed evenly across the joint, which helps maintain the required preload and structural integrity of the connection under operational loads.

This component is engineered for M16 hardware applications across various Favelle Favco crane models. It is specifically shaped to address surface irregularities, preventing the concentration of stress that can occur when fasteners are tightened against uneven or sloped surfaces. Proper installation of this washer is necessary to prevent localized material fatigue and to ensure that the bolted joint remains stable during the dynamic operation of the crane.

Tapered washers are used in heavy machinery to correct alignment issues in bolted connections. By providing a flat contact area, they allow the fastener to exert force squarely, which is critical for the safety and reliability of load-bearing structural joints in tower cranes and other heavy lifting equipment.
