A Flat Washer is a flat, thin disk with a hole in the center, used in conjunction with a nut and bolt to evenly distribute the load of a threaded fastener. It serves as a spacer, load distributor, and wear protector within the equipment. By providing a smooth bearing surface, washers prevent damage to the surface being fastened and help reduce the risk of loosening due to vibration.Attributes:• Ensures uniform load distribution.• Resists deformation under loads.• Accurate fitting to prevent loosening.Applications: A Flat Washer is located at the junction point where bolts and nuts are used to fasten components together, ensuring even load distribution and surface protection.
