A spring washer is a single, circular, fastening component possessing deflection properties that provide spring tension in bolted assemblies. They are able to withstand a wide range of pressures and are often a cost savings solution when space requirements and assembly weight are design factors.
Spring washers are a popular fixture used in assemblies to reduce vibration, take up end play from wear or excessive tolerances, and keep mechanically fastened joints together.
The major spring washer groups include Belleville (conical) washers, curved washers, finger washers, waveform washers, and lock washers.
