Rubber Washer
SAF-Holland

This rubber washer delivers cushioning and sealing in fifth-wheel and related coupling arrangements, damping vibration while maintaining a robust seal against moisture ingress and contaminants. The elastomeric material provides a compliant interface that absorbs micro-movements, helping to preserve thread engagement, reduce wear, and minimize noise from metal-to-metal contact. In addition to its vibration-damping role, the washer helps distribute clamping forces evenly across mating surfaces, promoting more uniform load transfer and better torque retention for bolts and fasteners in high-stress assemblies. Within the SAF-Holland fifth-wheel family, such washers are a standard accessory for ensuring consistent performance across varied operating conditions, including long-haul, urban, and construction environments. The VMRS classification reinforces its function as a component-level damper and seal, guiding maintenance and replacement intervals. Its material properties and geometry are chosen to withstand repeated exposure to environmental elements, ensuring lasting reliability in critical coupling points where both lubrication retention and corrosion resistance are concerns.
