Lock Technology Split Washer

Lock Technology split washers, also called split lock washers or helical spring lock washers, help keep bolted and threaded connections from loosening. Each washer is a helically cut ring that sits under a nut or bolt head.

Key Features:

• Spring-tension design: The helical split ring applies spring force between the fastener and the mating surface as it is tightened.
• Vibration resistance: The added friction and bite of the split ends help resist rotation caused by vibration.
• Simple installation: Place the washer on the bolt or stud beneath the nut or bolt head, then tighten to the proper torque. No special tools are needed.
• Versatile use: Suited to general-purpose fastening in automotive, powersports, marine, RV, and equipment assemblies.

For best results, use a split washer with a flat washer where a uniform bearing surface is needed. Tighten to the specified torque so the washer compresses fully and keeps its clamping force.
