'Penny' Washers in Content Center

[steve.west]

We often use oversize washers in our assemblies, sometimes called Penny Washers, Repair Washers or Bicycle Washers. These have a larger outside diameter and allow oversize holes to be used to allow for positional adjustment, among other applications. These are a standard item available off the shelf (in the UK anyway). It would be  nice to see them included in Content Center, available for use in Bolted Connections.

Are these the same things as "Fender Washers"?  https://www.boltdepot.com/Fender_washers_Stainless_steel_18-8.aspx

I certainly agree that it'd have been nice to have these already included, but it's not a horribly big deal to create them yourself.

Hi Adam.

Yes. They are also sometimes called 'Mudguard Washers' (in the UK). I have created a few myself as required, but it would be much easier to have them as an option in the Bolted Connection generator.

There are metric fender washers in the Content Center; check out the ISO 7093 and DIN 9021 flat washers.
