Brass washer

Brass washer — Manufacturer & Exporter

Qingdao ShengChenXiang Hardware Products Co., Ltd. is a specialized manufacturer of washer and sealing gasket based in Qingdao, China. With over 15 years of experience in precision metal fabrication, we supply custom washer and sealing gasket to distributors, engineering contractors and OEM buyers across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The brass washer shown on this page represents one of our standard or semi-custom product lines. We can produce it exactly as specified on the drawing, or modify dimensions, materials and finishes to match your project requirements.

Why the Right Part Matters

Whether you are specifying components for a new build or replacing parts in the field, the right washer and sealing gasket directly affects installation speed, long-term reliability and total lifecycle cost. A poorly made part may crack under load, corrode in service, or require re-work during assembly. Our engineering team reviews every drawing for manufacturability before quoting, and each production batch runs through first-article inspection, in-process checks and a final QC pass before packing.

Materials We Use

We select the base material based on your service environment, load rating and budget. Standard options include:

• 304/316 stainless steel

• C45/CK45 carbon steel

• alloy steel 40Cr

• brass H62

• PTFE virgin

• EPDM rubber

For outdoor or corrosive environments, we typically recommend hot-dip galvanized carbon steel for cost-effective protection, or 304/316 stainless steel where maximum corrosion resistance is required. Tell us your working temperature, media and exposure conditions and our engineers will recommend the optimal material grade.

Manufacturing Process

Our production line combines high-speed stamping, die cutting, and precision molding with material selection. Each step is controlled by dedicated technicians:

• Material cutting — laser, shearing or blanking to size with tight tolerances

• Forming — stamping, bending or deep drawing on hydraulic presses up to 200 tons

• Welding — MIG, TIG or spot welding by certified welders, with robotic options for high-volume orders

• Machining — CNC turning, milling or drilling where precision features are required

• Surface treatment — done in-house or through audited partner facilities

• Assembly & packing — sub-assembly, labeling and export packing per customer request

Surface Treatment Options

Corrosion protection is selected to match the service environment. Available finishes include:

• zinc plated

• black oxide

• phosphated

• passivated stainless

• natural PTFE white

Typical Applications

Our washer and sealing gasket are widely used in flange joints, bolted connections, valve seals, plumbing, automotive, oil & gas, HVAC, electrical panels. If your application is not listed, contact us — we regularly adapt standard parts for custom installations.

Customization & OEM

We welcome OEM and ODM orders. Send us your drawing, sample or a rough sketch with key dimensions, and our engineering team will confirm feasibility within 24 hours. Common customization requests include:

• Custom dimensions, hole patterns and thread sizes

• Logo engraving, laser marking or custom labels

• Special packaging (individual polybag, export carton, pallet)

• Mixed-container orders across multiple product lines

Why Source From Qingdao ShengChenXiang?

• In-house tooling — we design and build our own stamping dies, which keeps tooling cost low and lead time short.

• Two factories — 1,300 m² existing production floor plus a new 1,500 m² facility coming online by end of 2026.

• One-stop service — stamping, welding, machining, rubber/plastic over-molding and surface treatment under one roof.

• Strategic location — near Qingdao Port and Tianjin Port, reducing inland freight and export lead time.

• Small MOQ friendly — we accept trial orders and mixed containers for new distributors.

Packaging & Lead Time

Standard packing is inner polybag + export carton + wooden pallet. For delicate parts we use foam or dividers to prevent scratching. Typical lead time is 15–25 days after deposit and drawing confirmation, depending on order volume and tooling requirements. We can ship by sea (LCL/FCL), air or express courier to your nearest port.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Assembly Notes

For best results, follow these general guidelines when installing our hardware components:

1. Check dimensions before installation — compare the delivered part against the drawing to confirm no shipping damage or manufacturing deviation.

2. Prepare the mating surface — clean oil, rust and burrs from the mating surface. A flat, clean seat ensures even load distribution.

3. Use correct fasteners — match bolt grade and size to the hole. Grade 8.8 bolts for carbon steel, A2-70 for stainless assemblies.

4. Torque in sequence — for multi-bolt joints, tighten in a crisscross pattern in 2–3 passes to achieve uniform clamping.

5. Inspect after load — after putting the assembly into service, re-check fastener tightness after 100 hours of operation.

How to Choose the Right Specification

When selecting hardware for your project, consider these key factors:

Material selection: Carbon steel Q235 is the default for most structural applications and is the most economical. Upgrade to Q355 where higher strength is needed. Stainless steel 304 suits food, marine and outdoor environments. Stainless 316 is for coastal, chemical or high-humidity service. Aluminum is for weight-sensitive applications.

Surface finish: Zinc plating (8–12 μm) provides indoor corrosion protection. Powder coating adds UV resistance and color options for outdoor use. Hot-dip galvanizing delivers 15–25 years of outdoor protection. Electropolished stainless is the hygienic choice for food and medical equipment.

Tolerance and precision: Standard ±0.2 mm is sufficient for most hardware. Where mating parts require precision, specify ±0.05 mm and we will machine to tighter tolerances.

Industries & Applications

Electrical Panels. Terminal and busbar connections rely on washers that distribute clamping force without damaging plated surfaces.

Heavy Machinery. High-strength washers prevent embedment and loosening on vibrating equipment, from crushers to conveyor drives.

Beyond these primary sectors, our Brass washer is widely specified in maintenance retrofit projects, OEM new-build programmes and export distribution. Because we manufacture in-house, we can adapt the design — hole patterns, thickness, finish or packaging — to the exact requirements of each project without minimum-order penalties.

Customers typically choose us because we combine stamping, forming, welding and surface treatment under one roof, so drawings become production parts quickly with a single point of responsibility.

Material & Surface Finish

(\'We stock Q235 and Q355 carbon steel plus 304, 316 and 316L stainless as standard. Aluminium is available for weight-critical designs. Material certificates (MTC) are issued with every batch, and we can arrange third-party mill verification if your project specification requires it.\', \'The right grade depends on three questions: is the part load-bearing, is it outdoors, and does it contact food, water or chemicals? Answer those and we will match grade, gauge and finish in the quotation, with alternatives priced for comparison.\')

Packing & Delivery

Standard export packing is inner polybag plus five-layer carton, palletised and strapped for container loading. For high-value or delicate parts we add foam or wooden cases. Mixed-product consolidation for distributors is available so you can combine clamp, hinge and other lines in one shipment.

Ordering & Customisation

Customisation is a normal part of our workflow: dimensions, hole patterns, materials, finishes and packaging can all be adapted. Send a sketch or drawing and our engineers will confirm manufacturability, suggest cost improvements and issue a fixed quotation.
