Better Load Distribution
Large washer diameter reduces stress concentration and improves connection reliability.

DIN 440 is a special type of large outside diameter washer with a square hole, mainly designed for timber construction, wooden structures, and heavy-duty fastening applications. Unlike standard flat washers, DIN 440 washers provide a significantly larger bearing surface, helping distribute clamping forces and prevent bolt heads or nuts from sinking into soft materials.
Manufactured according to German DIN standards, DIN 440 washers are widely used together with bolts, nuts, and threaded rods in construction, timber engineering, and structural fastening systems where high load distribution is required.


Compared with ordinary DIN 125 flat washers, DIN 440 features:
It is especially suitable for applications where standard washers may cause deformation or insufficient load distribution.
DIN 440 Washer
DIN 125 Washer
Key Difference:
DIN 440 focuses on maximum load spreading in soft materials such as wood, while DIN 125 focuses on general mechanical fastening applications.
Large washer diameter reduces stress concentration and improves connection reliability.
Ideal for timber where standard washers may compress the surface.
DIN 440 washers are mainly used for timber construction and structural fastening applications. Their large diameter helps distribute bolt loads over a wider surface area, preventing damage to wood materials.
DIN 440 is a heavy-duty timber washer with a larger outside diameter and square hole, while DIN 125 is a standard flat washer designed for general mechanical fastening.
The square hole design improves positioning stability and allows the washer to work effectively with specific timber fastening systems.
