Spring Washer Aani BBBB

Spring washers, also known as disc springs or Belleville washers, are mechanical components used to create tension, prevent loosening, or absorb shock within various assemblies. They are typically made of hardened steel or other metals and have a disc-like shape with a slight conical form.

The design of a spring washer consists of a central hole allowing it to be mounted onto a bolt or shaft. When placed under compression, these washers flatten to some extent due to their spring-like nature, exerting a force against the nut or joint. This force helps maintain tension, prevent loosening caused by vibrations, thermal expansion, or settling.

They come in different sizes, thicknesses, and materials, providing varying degrees of resilience and load-bearing capacities. Spring washers are commonly used in applications such as automotive assemblies, construction, machinery, and anywhere where maintaining tension and preventing fastener loosening is crucial.
