Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers

Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers are often used to install between bolts, screws or other washers and panels. Their unique structure allows them to absorb vibrations from the working surface, which over time may cause fasteners to loosen and fall out. Therefore, they are ideal for use in machinery and construction industries where high vibration occurs.

Feature And Application

• Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers are ideal for machinery and scenarios with frequent vibrations. Long-term vibrations may loosen fasteners such as nuts and bolts, causing danger

• Spring washers are easy to install, saving installation time and effort

• Spring washers are available in a variety of sizes (M3-M20)

• Used with threaded fasteners (such as bolts and nuts), the larger outer diameter is to increase the load distribution area

Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers are often used with threaded fasteners, such as bolts or nuts, to increase the load distribution area. When tightening threaded fasteners, there is a risk of surface stress, and Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers help to evenly distribute the applied tightening force over a larger area, reducing the risk of surface stress and damage. The oversized outer diameter of the spring washers is ideal for distributing tightening forces over a wider surface area and oversized holes. Made of steel, they are ideal for indoor or outdoor use and have excellent corrosion resistance.As an example, some of the types of uses would be:

• industrial machinery

• domestic appliances like washing machines and tumble driers.

Details

The most significant advantage of Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers is their excellent ability to resist vibration-induced loosening. When installed, the washer is compressed between the nut or bolt head and the workpiece. As vibrations occur, the spring action of the washer allows it to continuously exert a radial force, keeping the nut or bolt under tension and preventing it from turning. This is crucial in applications such as automotive engines, machinery, and equipment subjected to continuous vibration, where the security of the fastening is of utmost importance.

Besides，Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers provide a self-locking function without the need for additional locking devices like cotter pins or locknuts in many cases. The spring force generated by the washer creates a frictional force that resists the rotation of the nut or bolt, ensuring that the connection remains tight even under dynamic loads. Nickel-plated Single Coil Spring Lock Washers are generally cost-effective compared to some other locking devices or more complex fastening systems. They offer a reliable locking function at a relatively low cost, making them a popular choice for many applications where the budget is a consideration.
