Secure the critical components of your commercial grinder with the genuine Vulcano #10 External Tooth Lock Washer (Part # 5.V003). This small but vital OEM fastening component is engineered to provide superior vibration resistance, ensuring that crucial nuts and bolts on your Vulcano grinder—especially near high-speed motor or burr mechanisms—remain securely fastened. Featuring external teeth, this washer digs into the fastening surface and the screw head, creating a tight lock that actively prevents loosening due to the constant vibration and torque inherent in high-volume commercial grinding. Investing in this authentic replacement part is essential for maintaining the alignment and integrity of your grinder, thereby protecting against component failure and expensive repairs.
The primary benefit of using the Vulcano #10 External Tooth Lock Washer is the enhanced reliability it brings to your espresso equipment. In high-demand café environments, loose parts can quickly lead to alignment issues, inconsistent grind quality, and eventual machine downtime. By reliably locking fasteners in place, this washer helps preserve the precision settings and longevity of your grinder, guaranteeing consistent performance shot after shot. This OEM part meets the stringent material and tolerance specifications required to withstand the heat and mechanical stress of continuous operation.
For usage, this lock washer should be installed between the fastener (nut or screw head) and the component surface, ensuring the external teeth engage both surfaces upon tightening. It is specifically designed as a #10 size for compatibility with corresponding Vulcano fastening points, making it an exact fit replacement. Always consult your grinder's technical manual for specific placement, but typically it is used in motor mounts, frame assembly points, and electrical connections where vibration is a concern. Using the correct lock washer (5.V003) is a simple, cost-effective step to prevent operational drift and secure your investment in professional espresso grinding equipment.
