The working principle of spring washers

Apr 24, 2025 Leave a message

The spring washer works mainly based on the continuous elastic force produced by elastic deformation and the mechanical locking of sharp corners embedded in the surface ‌. ‌

1. Specific principle analysis
Youdaoplaceholder0 Elastic force and frictional force act ‌
After being flattened, the spring washer will generate a continuous elastic restoring force. This elastic force maintains an additional friction between the nut and the bolt, forming a resistance moment. This kind of frictional force can delay the loosening caused by vibration or shock.

The sharp corner design at its opening can be embedded in the surface of the bolt and the connected part, restricting their relative rotation through physical obstruction. This mechanism can assist in preventing loosening in scenarios with low torque.
