Cork Washers

Stephen Gaskets are proud to be cork washer experts. Furthermore, with over 70 years of experience, we know everything there is to know about the industry. Cork is just one of the many materials used for washers at Stephen Gaskets.

Excellent Oil and Anti-Vibration Properties

Cork washers have excellent oil and anti-vibration properties. Additionally, cork is a highly effective material for a wide range of applications, such as; oil and fuel pumps, switchgear and electrical transformers.

Another benefit, is that when combined with rubber, cork also offers high flexibility and compression.

At Stephen Gaskets, we can manufacture a vast range of different sizes in house. Therefore, if you have specific requirements, we can work with you to produce a bespoke washer.

Fire Resistant

Although we commonly think of washers as being made of metal, they can actually be made of a number of different materials.

One of these different materials is cork. Cork is a subset of bark tissue, and has a number of impressive properties including fire resistance, elasticity and impermeability. Furthermore, it is relatively inexpensive to manufacture cork washers.

Different Sizes Available

In terms of washers, cork washers are most commonly used for anti-vibration purposes and in electrical switchgear. They are available in a number of different sizes. Therefore, finding cork washers to suit your needs should pose no problem at all.

What’s more, our excellent level of service will ensure you receive your order quickly and professionally.

Cork Washers Properties

Owing to cork being somewhat malleable, it’s a popular choice of material for certain washers.

In applications where large amounts of movement are normal, cork’s elasticity and buoyancy provides excellent anti-vibration properties. As a result, it makes the ideal choice of washer material. Not to mention its non-conductive properties, making it a handy alternative to plastic in electrical applications.

Used in a Wide Range of Industries

In fact, cork’s remarkable properties are so impressive, it’s now used in an enormous range of industries. These include making airtight seams for musical instruments and paper pick-up mechanisms in home printers. Also, they improve comfort and climate control in footwear and even in fairings and heat shields in spacecraft.

Better Energy Absorption

Cork is even often mixed into concrete. Its unique properties give the composite a lower thermal conductivity, better energy absorption and a lower density than pure concrete itself.

Put simply, cork is a material which is simply unrivalled elsewhere in terms of its specific properties. Consequently, it is an ideal washer material for a number of different uses and applications.
