Small fasteners and washers for fine mechanichs, where to get them ?

Hey, I don't know. But after 8.1., I'll be contacting them anyway.

Right, no more paper catalogue at Bürklin unfortunally. There was one available until 2016. But they are aware of the shortcomings of their web catalogue, as many customers have complained.
They will make available a PDF catalogue of a structure and layout close to the last paper catalogue.
This is expected to happen in the first quarte of the year.

What a pity.  I can't be the only person who finds a dead-tree catalog to be incredibly instructive. Browsing online catalogs sucks, especially since almost none concatenate the different variants of an item (e.g. values) into one line item, the way many paper catalogs did.

Thanks for checking, though!

Yes, but that is exactly what they say it will do (like their paper catalogue did)!

I have heard of image search but I have no idea how I would find the source of a small washer using an image search.  Can you give me an example.  Thanks

I guess it helps, but browsing PDFs tends to suck, too... I far prefer browsing a dead-tree catalog.

I understand completely. The 'wait - what's that - we could it do that way too' effect is severely lacking.

Maybe using something like 'precision washer' or 'retainer clip' and then looking at the images while watching your mouseover info, until you see something that's not alibabaschnullbull.

Google image search for 'retaining ring'

Lots of irrelevent stuff but maybe something useful as well.
