TeacherGeek #10 Washer - Pack of 200

TeacherGeek #10 Washers are compact, durable components designed to be used with #10 machine screws and bolts in a variety of STEM and engineering projects. These machine washers serve a vital role in reducing friction, protecting materials, and ensuring a firm, even fastening surface. Unlike fender washers, which have a larger outer diameter, #10 washers are smaller and suited to tight spaces or where minimal protrusion is desired. Their durability and reusability make them a practical addition to any hands-on learning environment.

Whether constructing bridges, towers, vehicles or rotating linkages, these washers prevent wear and material strain at the point of contact. They are an excellent choice for joining components made of wood, plastic, or soft metals, and they're ideal when students are revising or rebuilding prototypes repeatedly.

Educational Benefits

• Reinforces principles of force distribution, rotation, and mechanical fastenings.
