Stainless Steel Serrated Lock Washer

Description

– A stainless steel serrated lock washer is a fastener component designed to prevent loosening of bolted joints due to vibration or rotational forces.
– It features serrations (teeth or ridges) on its surface that bite into the mating surfaces, creating friction and increasing the clamping force.
– This design helps maintain tension in the bolt and prevents the fastener from coming loose.

Key Features:
Serrated Design:
The serrations on the washer’s surface provide a strong grip against both the bolt head/nut and the material being fastened, resisting loosening.
Stainless Steel Material:
Stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor and high-stress applications.
Anti-Vibration:
Serrated lock washers are particularly effective in environments with vibrations or dynamic loads, where loosening is a common issue.
Improved Reliability:
Compared to standard washers, serrated lock washers offer enhanced reliability and performance due to their locking mechanism.
External and Internal Options:
Serrated lock washers can be found with teeth on the outside (external) or inside (internal) of the washer, depending on the application and desired finish.
