Spring Washers

The primary purpose of spring washers is to provide tension and preload in a joint assembly. This helps to maintain clamping force and prevent loosening or loss of tension due to vibration, thermal cycling, or other factors. Spring washers also help to absorb shock and reduce the impact of cyclic loading on the joint, which can improve the durability and lifespan of the assembly. Additionally, spring washers can be used to compensate for small amounts of misalignment or to adjust the tension in a joint without the need for additional components.
