Starlock Washer 02-0254-0000

The Starlock Washer (part# 02-0254-0000) is a genuine Tacony OEM push-on retaining washer. It is a genuine Tacony OEM part shared across Powr-Flite and Tornado machines — see the full compatibility list below.

A starlock washer is a one-piece steel retainer with inward-facing teeth. Pushed onto a plain shaft it bites in and resists being pulled back off, which makes it a fast, groove-free way to retain a wheel, roller or pivot pin. There is no circlip groove to machine and no fastener to loosen, which is exactly why it is used on assemblies that are built once and rarely disturbed.

The teeth deform as the washer is driven on, so a starlock washer is a one-use part — removing one almost always destroys its grip even if it looks intact afterwards. Fit a new one whenever the assembly has been apart. Replace any washer that has lost teeth, that can be pulled off the shaft by hand, or that has corroded, since a retainer that lets go allows the component it holds to wander off its shaft in service.
