Пружинная шайба, толщина 4,51 мм Caterpillar 035-4296

A Spring Washer is a thin, split metal ring made to provide tension and prevent loosening of threaded fasteners, such as nuts, screws, and bolts. It is made of metal with a springy characteristic. When installed under a nut or bolt head, the spring washer exerts a constant outward force, creating friction and preventing the fastener from vibrating loose.

Attributes:
• Minimizes wear and tear on threads by preventing them from rubbing against each other
• Manufactured to precise specifications and is built for durability and reliability

Applications:
A Spring Washer maintains consistent tension on threaded connections, protecting against loosening due to vibration, shock, and thermal expansion. When a spring washer is compressed between a nut and a bolt, its split ends dig into the mating surfaces, creating a frictional force that resists loosening. The spring force also ensures that the connection remains tight even when subjected to vibration, shock, or thermal expansion. This constant tension helps to prevent leaks and ensure smooth and reliable operation of the steering system.
