    washer selection

    We don't have a say as to what goes on the BOM. I wish it were as simple as getting the parts we wanted or assembling something a different way. We build to print and don't have much say unless something is obviously causing a problem. I think, if something is assembled the same way each...

    Thank you for your replies. I do understand that the washers we use are manufactured by stamping causing a rounded side and we have no choice in the type we use, as we are building to a customer's drawing specification (gov't work ;) ). I think that the round shape would work better on the...

    I was wondering what the consensus is on whether or not washers that have a rounded and a flat side should always be put on the flat side down to the mating surface? I'm trying to convince some co-workers that the above is a good idea and therefore increase consistency and reliability in our...
