Spring washers are an often overlooked yet essential piece of hardware used in a variety of applications. Made from spring steel, spring washers are designed to create a strong and secure connection between two components. Whether you're looking for a secure connection for a construction project, a mechanical device, or an electronic item, spring washers are an ideal option. In this blog post, we'll discuss the advantages of using spring washers to guarantee secure connections.
Spring steel washers, also known as split lock or split ring washers, are locking washers used to prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration. They work by biting into the nut and mounting surface when tightened.
Square spring washers are usually used on the nut side of the fastener. The term “square section” refers to the end section of the split in the spring washer. This helps the spring washer to grip the nut more effectively and provide a secure connection.
Spring washers are a type of fastener used to lock a nut into place and provide secure connections. They use tension to accomplish this, with the vertical cut ends of the washer grabbing the nut to create tension.
When the nut is tightened, the cut ends of the washer should still be slightly out of alignment. This means that they’re still providing tension around the nut, ensuring it is securely locked in place. If the nut is overtightened, this tension is drastically reduced and the locking power of the spring washer is diminished.
The benefits of using spring washers
Spring washers are conical in shape and designed to provide a spring force and absorb shock. This type of washer, known as a locking washer, is designed to hold a fastener in place by providing tension between the two components. It has a slightly larger inner diameter than the fastener, allowing it to compress around the fastener when the nut is tightened.
This compression creates a tension fit, which prevents the fastener from loosening due to vibration or other external forces. Locking washers are especially useful in applications where high vibration is present, such as in electrical, industrial, oil & gas, and valve industries. They are also useful in applications where frequent maintenance is required, as they reduce the need to regularly check and retighten fasteners.
The deflection rate of the washer is contingent on the washer’s dimensions and materials. Thicker, taller spring washers can sustain more load and work more effectively in supporting higher tension in bolted applications.
