Introduction
Washers can serve to spread force, decrease wear, increase service life of parts, reduce friction, shim parts, and more.
Challenges
Washers are available in a bewildering variety of sizes, features, thicknesses, and materials.
Approaches
A reduced selection of sizes, features, thicknesses, and materials allows for easier satisfaction of minimum order quantities. A curated set also reduces ordering, stocking, and handling.
