Washer for Palfinger PK 38502

The HBS960 washer is a flat, annular mechanical component used to support bolted joints within the assembly of Palfinger PK 38502 cranes. By providing a stable contact surface, it serves to distribute the clamping load of fasteners across a wider area, which helps maintain the integrity of the connection and prevents localized damage to the surfaces being joined. These washers are utilized in various mounting points throughout the crane, including the structural components of the boom, hydraulic cylinder mounts, and the base assembly.

This component is compatible with the Palfinger PK 38502 crane model. Proper installation of this washer ensures that the clamping force is evenly applied, which is necessary for the stability of the bolted assemblies found in heavy lifting equipment. When maintaining the crane, ensuring the correct placement of these washers is a standard practice for securing structural and accessory attachments.

In heavy machinery, washers function as critical interface elements between the fastener head or nut and the component surface. They prevent the fastener from sinking into the material, maintain consistent tension in the joint, and protect the underlying structure from wear during assembly and operation. Using the correct washer ensures that the mechanical load is managed according to the design specifications of the crane assembly.
