Spring washers, also known as disc springs or Belleville washers, are designed to absorb shock, maintain tension, and reduce vibration in various applications. These washers are typically made from durable materials such as steel or stainless steel and are characterized by their conical shape, which allows them to exert a spring force when compressed. Spring washers are commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries for bolted joints, machinery, and equipment to prevent loosening and maintain the integrity of the assembly under varying loads and conditions. Their ability to provide consistent tension and compensate for thermal expansion and contraction makes them an essential component in many mechanical systems. Whether it's in a heavy-duty industrial setting or a precision engineering application, spring washers play a crucial role in ensuring the reliability and performance of mechanical assemblies.
