A Flat Washer functions by evenly distributing the load of a fastener. Placed beneath nuts or bolts, it helps prevent surface damage, reduce friction, and maintain tightness in mechanical assemblies. Its flat, circular shape provides a stable base for distributing pressure uniformly across surfaces, thereby enhancing the structural integrity of the equipment components during operation.Attributes:• Uniform thickness ensures even distribution of load.• Facilitates proper alignment of components.• Ensures proper sealing and spacing.Applications: A Flat Washer is located between the bolt head and the surface of the hydraulic tank in the equipment, serving to distribute the tightening force evenly, prevent surface damage, and ensure secure fastening.
