The Wacker Neuson Lock Washer 7/16 Split is a genuine OEM fastener component designed for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS walk-behind floor saws. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this split-type lock washer delivers the exact dimensional and material specification required for a secure, vibration-resistant connection on these machines. Confirm your model number before ordering — the is listed across both the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS saw platforms, making it a common service part for this floor saw family.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's exact split-ring profile and hardness spec, ensuring the washer bites and holds torque the way the original fastener was engineered to.
- Split-Ring Locking Action — The split design creates spring tension under the fastener head, resisting loosening caused by the sustained vibration typical of walk-behind floor saw operation.
- Direct-Fit for BFS Floor Saws — Confirmed fitment for the BFS 2020AS and BFS 1318AS; drops into place on the correct fastener position with no reworking of surrounding hardware.
- Vibration-Environment Rated — Floor saws generate significant blade-driven vibration through every cut; a correctly functioning lock washer keeps critical fastener joints from backing out over extended use.
- Low-Cost Preventive Service Item — Replacing a worn or fatigued lock washer at every major service interval protects far more expensive adjacent hardware from loosening damage.
A split lock washer is a deceptively simple but functionally critical fastener component. It sits between a bolt or nut and the mating surface, and its split, slightly bowed profile acts as a spring — when the fastener is torqued down, the washer flattens and pushes back, creating friction that resists rotational loosening. On a machine like a walk-behind floor saw, where blade contact with concrete or asphalt generates constant vibration, any fastener joint that loses its lock washer is at risk of gradually backing out. A failed or missing lock washer can lead to loose assemblies, misalignment, or accelerated wear on surrounding components — issues that are far more disruptive to address than a simple washer replacement during routine service.
