Chatsworth 04003-002 1/4IN Split Lock Washer

Overview

The Chatsworth 04003-002 is a 1/4 inch split lock washer, finished in gold plating. This component is designed to provide a secure mechanical connection by preventing loosening due to vibration or thermal cycling. It is essential for ensuring the long-term stability of mounted equipment in IT and surveillance infrastructure, particularly in environments where equipment may be subject to movement or temperature fluctuations.

Compatibility

This split lock washer is designed for use with 1/4 inch diameter hardware, including bolts, screws, and studs. It is compatible with a wide range of mounting hardware used in Chatsworth products, as well as standard industry fasteners for general IT and security equipment installation.

Installation Notes

For optimal performance, the 04003-002 should be installed against the surface of the equipment or mounting bracket, with the nut or screw head bearing against the washer. This ensures the split end of the washer can expand and grip the mating surface when tightened, providing resistance to loosening. Torque specifications for associated fasteners should be followed per equipment manufacturer guidelines to prevent over-tightening, which can damage the washer or the mounting surface.
