Spring washer or Cut washer

Spring Washers, also known as Cut Washers or Split Lock Washers, are specially designed fastening components used to prevent loosening caused by vibration, shock, and dynamic loads. Their split-ring design creates tension between the fastener and surface, ensuring secure and reliable fastening in mechanical, automotive, construction, and industrial applications.

Features

• Prevents nut and bolt loosening
• Provides vibration resistance
• Enhances fastening stability
• Durable and corrosion resistant
• High load-bearing capability
• Easy installation and removal
• Suitable for heavy-duty applications

Spring Washer / Cut Washer Specifications

For procurement enquiries, “cut washer” is commonly used for a split spring washer. To avoid a mismatch, specify the nominal bolt size, washer material, finish or coating, applicable standard or profile where known, and quantity.

• Nominal bolt or thread size
• Material or grade where specified
• Finish or coating requirement
• Washer standard, dimensions or drawing where applicable
• Quantity and delivery location

Applications and Selection

Spring washers or cut washers are used in bolted assemblies across construction, fabrication, machinery and maintenance requirements. Suitability depends on the joint design and project specification. For vibration-sensitive or safety-critical joints, use the locking method and washer specification required by the approved design rather than substituting by name alone.
