Spring Washers M16, Split Ring, Helix Lock Zinc Plated Steel, Single Coil Square Section Washer, Gasket Ring for 16mm Bolt/Screw DIN 127 (Pack of 10)

• SPRING WASHER: DIN 127 Split washer at one point and bent into a helical shape. This causes the washer to exert a spring force between the fastener's head and the substrate, which maintains the washer hard against the substrate and the bolt thread hard against the nut or substrate thread, creating more friction and resistance to rotation.
• USABILITY: Various metric size split lock washers have a left-hand helix, which means you can only use them with bolts that have right-hand threads to prevent clockwise rotation from vibration. When tightened, their uneven split ends bite into unhardened nuts and bolts for a tighter hold than curved or wave washers, but only for applications with clockwise rotation.
• ZINC PLATED ALLOY STEEL: Hardware commonly used in mostly dry environments. The zinc plating offers temporary rust protection, but once it wears away the steel will rust. All of these washers are stronger and more wear resistant than stainless steel.
• SHIMS SUITABLE FOR: General purpose engineering, automotive panel fixing, building, sheet metal, plastic fabrication, DYI.
• SPECIFICATIONS: DIN 127 M16, Material- Zinc plated Steel, Hole diameter- 16.2mm, Outside diameter- 27.4mm, Thickness- 3.5mm, Pack of 10.

Spring Lock Washer The Function of Spring Lock Washer The lock washer prevents nuts and bolts from turning, slipping and coming loose because of vibration and torque. Different lock washers perform this function in slightly different ways, but the basic concept is to hold the nut and bolt in place. Some lock washers achieve this function by biting into the base material (bolt) and the nut with their ends. Applications of Spring Lock Washer Lock washers are commonly used in applications involving vibration and possible slippage of fasteners. Industries that commonly use lock washers are transportation related (automotive, aircraft, marine). Lock washers may also be used in household appliances such as air handlers and clothes washers (washing machines). As you tighten a bolt, these metric washers flatten to add tension to the threaded joint and prevent loosening from small amounts of vibration. Splitlockwashers have a left-hand helix, which means you can only use them with bolts that have right-hand threads to prevent clockwise rotation from vibration. When tightened, their uneven split ends bite into unhardened nuts and bolts for a tighter hold than curved or wave washers, but only for applications with clockwise rotation. Use zinc-plated washers in mostly dry environments. The zinc plating offers temporary rust protection, but once it wears away the steel will rust.
