602216 - Miller 602216 Split Lock Washer .502 ID Steel Plated

Genuine Miller 602216 Lock Washer for Secure Equipment Assembly

When it comes to maintaining the structural integrity and operational reliability of your welding equipment, every component matters—down to the smallest hardware. The Miller 602216 Washer, Lock .502IDX0.879ODX.151T Stl Pld Split is a genuine replacement part designed to meet the rigorous standards of Miller Electric manufacturing. This split lock washer is engineered to prevent threaded fasteners from loosening due to the constant vibration and thermal expansion often encountered in industrial welding environments.

The washer features a split helical design. When compressed during tightening, the split ends exert a spring-like force against the fastener head and the mating surface. This tension increases friction and bites into the bearing surfaces, significantly reducing the likelihood of the nut or bolt backing out. With an Inner Diameter (ID) of 0.502 inches, this washer is precision-sized to fit standard 1/2-inch bolts or studs, ensuring a snug fit without binding. The Outer Diameter (OD) of 0.879 inches provides ample surface area to distribute the load effectively.

Constructed from high-quality steel, this washer offers the tensile strength necessary to withstand high torque settings without deforming or cracking. Furthermore, it features a plated finish. This plating is crucial for industrial applications, as it provides a layer of protection against corrosion, rust, and oxidation. Whether your equipment is used in a humid workshop or an outdoor job site, the plated finish helps extend the lifespan of the hardware, ensuring that your machine remains easy to service in the future.

Using genuine Miller parts like the 602216 ensures compatibility and performance. While generic hardware can sometimes suffice, OEM parts guarantee that the dimensions (specifically the 0.151-inch thickness) are exactly what the engineers intended for the specific assembly. This attention to detail prevents issues such as thread bottoming or insufficient clamp load. Whether you are repairing a wire feeder, a power source, or a running gear assembly, this lock washer is an essential component for a secure and long-lasting repair.
