Specification:

ASME/ANSI B18.21.1 covers the dimensional and physical requirements for tooth lock washers used with inch-series fasteners. Internal Tooth Lock Washers are available in #3 to 1” sizes, with inward-facing teeth designed to engage around the fastener head during tightening. Hardness is particularly important for tooth lock washers because the teeth must maintain their shape and engage the mating surfaces during tightening. Excessive deformation can reduce the mechanical locking effect.

Dimension Chart of ASME/ANSI B18.21.1 Internal Tooth Lock Washers:

The ASME/ANSI B18.21.1 dimension chart provides the key measurements for selecting an Internal Tooth Lock Washer for an inch-series fastener. In addition to the nominal washer size, the inside diameter, outside diameter, thickness, and internal tooth configuration determine how the washer fits beneath the fastener head and within the available mounting space. For applications with limited clearance around the fastener, the outside diameter is particularly important because the locking teeth remain within the washer perimeter. The inside diameter should provide sufficient clearance for the mating fastener without excessive movement.

Application of ASME/ANSI B18.21.1 Internal Teeth Lock Washers:

Compact Mechanical Assemblies

Internal tooth lock washers are suitable for small mechanical assemblies, mounting points, covers, brackets, and component fasteners where space around the bolt or screw head is limited. The inward-facing teeth provide the locking interface without extending beyond the washer’s outer perimeter.

Appliances and Consumer Equipment

They can be used in appliances, electrical equipment, control devices, and consumer products where compact fastening hardware is preferred. The relatively small outer profile can help keep the locking washer within the footprint of the fastening point.

Panels, Covers and Access Components

Internal tooth lock washers are also suitable for removable panels, access covers, equipment housings, and service components secured with inch-series screws or bolts. They can provide additional resistance to fastener rotation while maintaining a compact installation profile.
