Spring washers are split elastic discs that store mechanical energy under compression, maintaining contact pressure between fastener and joint face under vibration, thermal cycling, and dynamic loading.
Locking Principle: The split ends bite into both the nut bearing face and substrate when compressed, creating a frictional and mechanical barrier that resists backward rotation and progressive loosening under vibrational excitation.
Thermal Cycling Benefit: Spring recovery compensates for small dimensional changes from thermal expansion and contraction, helping maintain clamping preload in joints subject to temperature fluctuation during operation.
Application Scope: Used in automotive assemblies, outdoor machinery, electrical panels, and any joint subject to continuous cyclic loading that would cause conventional flat washers to allow progressive loosening.
Materials and Standards: Produced in spring steel and stainless steel to DIN 127, DIN 128, and ISO 7090 equivalent specifications, with zinc plating and stainless grades for corrosive environments.
