High Strength Spring Washers from China Factory - Reliable Suppliers for Enhanced Nut Retention and Friction
Spring Washers & Disassembly
Spring washers are used in vibration situations, but the spring pad is not necessarily anti-loosening. Screws are easy to rust after aging, and the difficulty of disassembly is very large. There will be a certain gap between the screw of the elastic pad and the connected piece. The screws have axial preload, so the screws with elastic pads are relatively easy to remove after aging.
Flat Washers & Surface Protection
In addition, the flat pad is not only used to prevent the spring pad from scratching the surface of the connected part. When the through hole of the connected part is larger than the nut, adding the flat pad can indirectly reduce the through hole and increase the force area to prevent the nut from entering the through hole. If the connected part is a thin-walled part, the flat pad should be added to increase the force area and indirectly thicken the connected part to avoid the damage of the thin-walled part in the stress concentration through the hole.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are spring washers completely anti-loosening in vibration environments?
Spring washers are used in vibration situations, but the spring pad is not necessarily anti-loosening.
Why are screws with elastic pads easier to remove after aging?
There is a certain gap between the screw of the elastic pad and the connected piece. Since the screws have axial preload, the screws with elastic pads are relatively easy to remove after aging.
What is the primary function of a flat pad besides surface protection?
Apart from preventing the spring pad from scratching the surface of the connected part, it is used to increase the force area and adjust through-hole sizing.
How does a flat pad help when the through hole is larger than the nut?
When the through hole of the connected part is larger than the nut, adding the flat pad can indirectly reduce the through hole and increase the force area to prevent the nut from entering the through hole.
Why should you add a flat pad to thin-walled connected parts?
For thin-walled parts, the flat pad should be added to increase the force area and indirectly thicken the connected part to avoid damage from stress concentration through the hole.
