The axle has a washer which helps to reduce pressure on the frame dropouts and transfers some of the tightening torque to the clamping load. This also helps to increase stiffness and prevent the axle from getting stuck when you want to remove it.
The axle has a 6mm hex on the non-drive side and have a backup hex on the drive-side allowing the axle to be tightened and loosened from either side of the bike.
Always apply a small amount of grease to the axle and threads when installing your axle.
