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
Are spring washers completely anti-loosening?
While spring washers are commonly used in vibration situations, the spring pad is not necessarily anti-loosening.
Why are screws with elastic pads easier to remove after aging?
Screws with elastic pads are relatively easy to remove after aging because there is a certain gap between the screw of the elastic pad and the connected piece, and the screws maintain an axial preload.
What is the primary purpose of a flat washer?
A flat washer (flat pad) is used to prevent the spring pad from scratching the surface of the connected part, to reduce the through-hole size when it is larger than the nut, and to increase the force area.
How do flat washers protect thin-walled parts?
For thin-walled parts, adding a flat washer increases the force distribution area and indirectly thickens the connected part, which helps avoid damage caused by stress concentration through the hole.
What happens if the through hole is larger than the nut?
If the through hole is larger than the nut, adding a flat washer can indirectly reduce the size of the through hole and increase the bearing area to prevent the nut from entering the hole.
