Spring Washers

We offer a cost-effective and standard M3 spring washer with a minute plate embedded in an aperture that is typically used to direct the load of threaded fixings.

What is an M3 Washer?

A spring washer also called a helical spring, is a type of spring washer that is used to generate a compensatory spring force and to support or absorb a load. To keep components from loosening, a spring washer is employed.

A washer consists of a minute plate usually found as a disk-shaped with an aperture that is often embedded to divide the load of threaded fixers, such as bolts or nuts. Other applications include spacers, springs, wear pads, preload indication devices, locking devices, and vibration reduction.

Washers are commonly made of metal or plastic. To minimize pre-load loss owing to brinelling once torque is applied, high-quality bolted joints require hardened steel washers that are also useful for reducing galvanic corrosion by isolating steel screws from aluminum surfaces.

How does a Spring Washer work?

Because spring washers function so effectively, they're used in a variety of assembly applications. Under a cap screw head, standard spring washers provide the needed seating and bearing surface. Harden is bearing surfaces to improve torque control uniformity. Controlled radii (section) cutoffs provide a more consistent load distribution. Provide resistance to looseness caused by vibration and rust.

The helical spring lock washer &147split 148 absorbs the initial driving force and visibly closes under nominal bolt stress. It resists the screw back-off rotation when tension in the assembly is lessened, and loosening begins. Internal, external, internal-external, and countersunk external tooth lock washers provide a ratchet motion by biting into the nut or screw head and the surface they meet. Tooth lock washers, despite their extensive use, can damage mating surfaces.

Uses of Spring Washer

Washers and gaskets are two separate types of rubber or fiber gaskets used in taps to prevent water leaks. While they may seem identical, washers and gaskets are designed for different purposes and constructed differently. A flat washer has a disproportionately large outside diameter compared to its inner hole. These are widely used to disperse the weight on thin sheet metal, and they get their name from their application on car fenders. They can also be used to join two holes that have become larger due to corrosion or wear.

Washer Types

Most washers fall into one of three categories.

Plain washers, which disperse a load and avoid harm to the surface being fastened, or electrical washers, which give some type of insulation. Spring washers feature axial flexibility and are used to avoid vibration-induced fastening or loosening. Locking washers are spring washers that inhibit the fastening or loosening of fastening devices by preventing unscrewing rotation of the fastening device.
