Safety & Conical Spring Washers

Safety & Conical Spring Washers

These are used for locking a device and reducing the vibration. They reduce loosening by preventing unscrewing rotation of the fastening device; locking washers are usually also spring washers.

Washers are available in a wide range such as spring washers, star washers, multi-tooth washers, disc spring washers, wave washers, taper washers, safety washers etc.

Serrated Safety Washers Type S – Schnorr Type  

The Safety Washers are of trapezoidal cross section and serrated on both sides. The security is achieved through friction and mechanical locking.
Advantages
  • The cross section ensures locking effect at the outside diameter.
  • Due to the closed ring form, high degree of pretensioning is achieved.
  • Sliding surfaces allow tightening with damaging the mating surfaces.
  • High resistance to vibration due to positive locking of the serrations
  • Suitable for a wide range of screw/bolt heads minimizing stocks.

Afnor Contact Lock Washers – NF E-25 511 

Contact Washers are Conical shaped Lock Washers formed with a ribbed top surface. The conical shape exerts locking force 360 degree around the underside of the screw head/ nut by generating tension. The ribbed top surface further enhances the locking force and resists the torqued fastener connection potential for loosening under pressure and vibration. This is a single-sided toothed and non-slip locking washer, providing the designer the ability to secure wobble-prone screw effectively. It is particularly suitable for use on slot fasteners, dynamic cross-loaded to the screw connections and applications that require high biasing forces.

These washers are widely used in locomotives, appliances, elevators, electrical towers, medical machinery and electronic equipment.
