SPRING AND FLAT WASHERS
-
Spring Washer And Flat Washer
A ring split at one point and bent into a helical shape. This causes the washer to exert a spring force between the fastener’s head and the substrate, which maintains the washer hard against the substrate and the bolt thread hard against the nut or substrate thread, creating more friction and resistance to rotation. Applicable standards are ASME B18.21.1, DIN 127 B, and United States Military Standard NASM 35338 (formerly MS 35338 and AN-935).

Extra Thick Stainless Steel Flat Washers
Flat washers are used to increase the bearing surface of a nut or fastener’s head thus spreading the clamping force over a larger area. They can be useful when working with soft materials and oversized or irregular shaped holes.
