Product Description
Washers play a crucial role in supporting fasteners like screws and bolts, ensuring even load distribution and protecting surfaces from damage. Their functions include:
1. Load distribution: Spreading the load across a larger surface area to prevent material damage.
2. Damage prevention: Preventing fasteners from digging into materials and causing damage.
3. Vibration absorption: Reducing vibrations that can stress fasteners and surrounding equipment.
4. Leak prevention: Sealing screw and nut assemblies to prevent leaks.
5. Spacing: Acting as spacers to fill gaps between fasteners and surfaces.
By performing these functions, washers provide essential support to fasteners, ensuring stability, safety, and preventing potential damage.
