A Flat Washer is a component designed to distribute the load of a threaded fastener over a larger surface area. This helps to prevent damage to the material being fastened and ensures a more secure connection. A Washer helps reduce friction, prevent leakage, and protect surfaces from abrasion and wear.Attributes:• Ensures uniform load distribution between the valve spring and the housing.• Resists deformation under loads.• Accurate fitting to prevent loosening.Applications: A Flat Washer is positioned between the spring and retainer of the hydraulic control valve housing within the hydraulic system of the equipment, providing effective load distribution within the control valve assembly.
