A Hard Washer prevents damage to the surface being fastened. By distributing the load over a larger surface area, the washer helps to prevent the fastener from digging into the surface or causing it to deform. The thickness of a washer can also vary, with thinner washers often used in applications where space is limited.Attributes:• Protect against damage by distributing the load uniformly and reducing the tension on the fastener.• Prevent excess movement of the components.• Provide high strength and wear resistance.Applications:A Hard Washer is used to distribute the load of the fastener over a larger area, which helps to prevent damage to the surface being fastened.
