Stainless steel washer M2x5

The washer that never fails: stainless steel, exact measurements, and twenty units to always have on hand

In the preparation of a slot car or any precision assembly, the smallest details make a difference. The Sloting Plus M2x5 stainless steel washer (reference SP150041) is made from stainless steel, ensuring resistance to oxidation and a durability far superior to conventional carbon steel washers.

Function and performance

A washer of these dimensions serves multiple functions in the assembly and adjustment of slot cars: it distributes the load over screws and axles, allows for precise millimetre adjustments, and protects contact surfaces from wear. The thickness of just 0.2 mm makes it a very suitable option for fine adjustments where space is critical.

Moreover, stainless steel does not add significant magnetic interference, which can be relevant in configurations with magnets or sensitive setups.

Assembly and preparation

Its most common use in slot is for fitting rear and front axles, adjusting the height of mounts, and spacing gears. It is also useful in the construction of static models and dioramas where small-format metallic elements with a clean finish are required.

Coming in a bag of 20 units, we have enough stock for several assemblies or to replenish without needing to stop work.

Frequently asked questions

What screw or axle is this washer designed for?

With an inner diameter of 2 mm, it is compatible with M2 screws and axles, one of the most common sizes in the preparation and assembly of slot cars and in modelling in general.

How many units does the bag contain?

Each bag contains 20 units, allowing for multiple assemblies or maintaining a small stock in the workshop without running short in the middle of an adjustment.

Does stainless steel affect the magnetic behaviour of the car?

Austenitic stainless steel is practically non-magnetic, so its influence on magnetic systems is minimal. In any case, the amount of material is so small that the effect is negligible under normal slot use conditions.

Is it also suitable for models and dioramas?

Yes. Its stainless steel finish and precision dimensions make it equally valid for static model assemblies and diorama construction where small-format metallic elements are needed.

The Sloting Plus SP150041 stainless steel washer M2x5 (2 mm inner diameter, 5 mm outer diameter, 0.2 mm thickness) is an essential precision component for slot car building and static model assembly. Supplied in a bag of 20 units, it provides reliable spacing, load distribution and corrosion resistance for M2 axles and screws. A must-have spare part for slot car tuning, chassis setup and fine modelmaking work.
