Sliding washer Stalgast C012771

A sliding washer allows a bolt or screw to move smoothly along a slot without binding, creating an adjustable fixing that can be tightened at any point along its length. In professional catering equipment, this flexibility is essential for components that must be repositioned or secured under varying loads, such as shelves, brackets or hinged panels. The washer's central hole fits over the fastener, while its flat surface distributes pressure evenly, preventing damage to the equipment's frame or mounting points.

To use the washer, place it over the bolt or screw before threading it through the slot in the equipment. Align the washer with the slot's edges, ensuring it sits flat against the surface. Once the bolt is in position, add a nut or second washer on the reverse side and tighten. The washer will slide along the slot until the desired position is reached, at which point further tightening locks it in place. This method eliminates the need for pre-drilled holes at fixed intervals, allowing for precise adjustments during installation or maintenance.

The Stalgast sliding washer is manufactured to the specified dimensions, ensuring compatibility with fasteners and slots designed for its size. Its construction provides a balance between strength and ease of movement, allowing for repeated adjustments without wear to the washer or the equipment it secures.

This component is typically used in commercial kitchen appliances where modularity or frequent reconfiguration is required, such as worktop units, storage racks or mobile trolleys. Its role is to maintain a secure connection while accommodating the dynamic needs of a professional catering environment.

Cleaning and upkeep are minimal, as the washer's smooth surface resists accumulation of grease or debris. If removed during maintenance, inspect for signs of deformation or excessive wear before reinstallation to ensure continued reliability.
