Split Lock Washers

Split lock washers, also known as helical spring washers or split spring washers, are mechanical fasteners designed to prevent the loosening of nuts and bolts due to vibrations, thermal expansion, or torque fluctuations. These washers have a unique design featuring a split or helical shape, which allows them to exert a constant spring force when compressed between the nut and the surface of the joint. This force creates tension, resisting any tendency for the fastener to rotate or come undone. Split lock washers are typically made from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. They come in various sizes to accommodate different bolt diameters and can be used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, construction, machinery, and industrial equipment.
