Description:
Spring Lock Washers—also known simply as lock washers or split washers—are mechanical fasteners designed to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening due to vibration, shock, or thermal expansion.
Function : Applies continuous tension and friction to the bolt/nut assembly.
Material : Stainless steel, carbon steel, zinc-plated steel, brass, etc.
The washer is split at one point and bent into a helical shape.When tightened under a nut or bolt, it flattens slightly and pushes back against the fastener, increasing resistance to loosening.The sharp edges of the split bite into the mating surfaces, improving grip.
