High-Quality 3/8 Inch Spring Washer - China Suppliers & Factory for ANSI Open Gasket Spring Pad Solutions
The spring washer has good anti-loose effect and anti-seismic effect. The general direction of the thread is right-handed, and the spiral direction of the spring washer is left-handed. After tightening the nut, the elastic reaction generated by the washer flattening compels the screw threads. At the same time, when the fastener combination is subjected to the axial force of the vibration of the bolt, due to the elastic deformation of each part after the stress, sometimes there will be a gap between the fasteners, which is easier to loose. The tip of the spring washer’s oblique mouth is against the supporting surface of the bolt or nut and the connected part, which can make up for the gap between the instantaneous fasteners and prevent loosening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q What are the primary benefits of using a spring washer?
A spring washer provides excellent anti-loose and anti-seismic effects, making it highly effective in securing bolted connections.
Q What is the thread and spiral direction of a spring washer?
Generally, the thread direction is right-handed, while the spiral direction of the spring washer is left-handed.
Q How does the spring washer work after tightening the nut?
Once the nut is tightened, the washer is flattened, generating an elastic reaction that directly compels the screw threads to maintain tension.
Q Why do fasteners loosen under vibration?
Vibration subjects the bolt to axial forces, causing elastic deformation in the parts. This deformation can create a temporary gap between fasteners, leading to loosening.
Q How does the oblique mouth design prevent loosening?
The tip of the spring washer's oblique mouth presses firmly against the supporting surface of the bolt, nut, or connected part, compensating for any instantaneous gaps and preventing the fastener from backing off.
