A Lock Washer is used to prevent bolts and nuts from becoming loose under the influence of vibration or torque. It maintains tension in the assembly, ensuring that the fastener remains tight and secure. When the fastener is tightened, the lock washer's shape flattens out, gripping the surfaces firmly. As a result, the washer resists the tendency of the fastener to loosen, which occurs due to operational vibrations or dynamic loads. Attributes:• Provides frictional resistance to rotation.• Prevents loosening due to vibrations.• Resistant to wear and deformation.Applications: A Lock Washer is used in the clutch assembly to ensure that bolts remain securely fastened, maintaining the secure fastening of bolts and nuts under dynamic conditions.
