Notes
- DIN 127 B is the helical spring (split) lock washer with square ends and rectangular section. Columns (mm): d1 bore min and max; d2 outside max; b width of section; s thickness; h free height of type B, min and max; r as printed. Rows b and s are 19 values per table after the label cell: the page's own markup puts a dash in the label column (limit column), so the dash is not a value. McMaster-Carr's thickness ranges agree with s on all 15 sizes compared (e.g. M6 1.5 to 1.7 against s 1.6; M10 2.0 to 2.4 against s 2.2; M24 4.8 to 5.2 against s 5), and McMaster's ID / OD equal d1 max and d2 max for those sizes.
- The last column shows McMaster-Carr's ID / OD / thickness range for the sizes it lists (M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10, M12, M16, M20, M24, M30, M36, M48). McMaster prints no width b. McMaster lists a few alternatives by finish (M3.5 3.9 or 3.6 mm bore in zinc steel; M27 27.5 or 28.5 mm) as printed there; Westfield's d1 for M27 is 27.5 min / 28.5 max, which explains the second value.
- One printed anomaly dropped: Westfield's type B minimum free height for size 39 reads 2 (neighbours 12 and 14); it is shown as a typo and left out. Sizes above M24 are given by their nominal size only on the Westfield table (sizes 30 to 100 have no M prefix in the header).
- Westfield's notes: DIN 127 applies to assemblies up to property class 5.8, reverse coil is recommended for left-hand threads, and type A (with prongs) is not tabulated here. The washer free height h is the coil height before tightening; the flat-state geometry (coil pitch, cut angle) is not given as numbers in the sources read, so no model is drawn.
