Secure Your Fasteners with Premium Tab Washers
At BEP Ltd, we understand the critical role tab washers—also known as tab lock washers, tabbed washers, or locking tab washers—play in safety-sensitive applications. Our range of mechanical locking washers offers a secure, vibration-resistant solution for bolted joints in high-stress environments.
Designed for reliability. Trusted by professionals.
What Are Tab Washers & Why They Matter
A tab washer is a specially designed washer with a foldable tab that locks against a mating surface—typically a nut or bolt—to prevent rotational loosening. Unlike friction-based locking methods (e.g., spring washers), this creates a physical lock, ideal for:
- Extreme-vibration zones
- High-torque machinery
- Heat cycling conditions
- Safety-critical assemblies
Our selection includes internal tab washers, external tab washers, and combo tabs to match almost any fastener configuration.
Industries & Applications
Trusted across industries where integrity matters most, including:
- Agricultural and construction machinery
- Automotive and aerospace engines
- Power generation and heavy industrial drives
- Marine and offshore systems
- Railway and infrastructure assemblies
When failure is not an option, engineers rely on the proven lock security of tab washers.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a tab lock washer?
A washer with tabs designed to lock a bolt or nut in place by bending them against a mating surface, preventing rotation and loosening.
2. How do internal and external tab washers differ?
Internal washers bend inward to lock against the fastener; external washers bend outward to lock against the bearing surface. Combo styles offer both options.
3. Can tab washers withstand high heat or vibration?
Yes—tab washers are particularly effective in high-vibration and high-temperature applications, where maintaining torque is crucial.
4. Should tab washers be reused?
Generally no. Tabs deform once bent—recommended to replace with new washers for continued reliability.
