View ProductSpring Washers
Helical split washers that provide spring take-up and resistance to loosening under vibration.
Product Overview
Helical split washers that provide spring take-up and resistance to loosening under vibration.
Washers distribute bolt load over a larger bearing area, protect surfaces, bridge oversize holes or provide spring or locking action under vibration. Selection depends on joint hardness, hole type and service environment.
- Load distribution and surface protection
- Locking and spring take-up options
- Custom outer diameter, thickness and hole size on request
