Lock Washers: Essential Components for Secure Fastening

Description

Lock washers are specialized washers designed to prevent bolts, nuts, and screws from loosening due to vibrations or torque. Typically made from materials like steel, stainless steel, or copper, these washers are commonly used in automotive, machinery, and construction applications. By creating tension between the fastener and the surface it’s securing, lock washers help maintain tight, secure connections, enhancing the safety and reliability of mechanical assemblies. Their design features, such as split or toothed edges, provide added resistance, ensuring that fasteners stay in place under dynamic conditions.
