Non-standard Washers & Retaining Rings

Non-standard washers and retaining rings are custom-made small parts that help hold a machine together in tricky situations where regular parts just won't work.
Here is the simple breakdown:
Custom Fit: They have unique shapes, sizes, or thicknesses designed specifically for one machine's precise needs.
Special Materials: They are made from tough materials (like specific metals, plastics, or ceramics) to resist rust, extreme heat, or electrical currents.
Unique Jobs:
Washers: Provide specific cushioning, sealing, or load-spreading abilities beyond a normal flat washer.
Retaining Rings: Act as highly specific clips or C-shaped rings that lock components onto a shaft or inside a hole, stopping them from moving, even under huge force or vibration.
In short, they are specialized, heavy-duty little components built to ensure that critical machine parts stay perfectly aligned and locked in place under extreme conditions.
