A Flat Washer is a mechanical fastener used to prevent loosening or rotation of a bolt or nut. It provides a secure and reliable connection between two parts. They feature a gap that allows them to compress when tightened, creating tension between the bolt or nut and the mating surface. This tension helps to prevent the fastener from loosening due to vibrations or other external forces.Attributes:• Distributes the load of a fastener over a larger area, reducing the risk of damage to the material being fastened• Minimizes wear and tear on plug Applications:A Flat Washer is placed between the plug and the mating surface of the drive axle to distribute the load of a threaded fastener. When the fastener is tightened, the lock washer deforms or compresses, creating a locking effect. This helps to prevent the fastener from loosening over time, even in dynamic or high-vibration environments.
