Product Description:
Stainless Steel Curved Lock Washer and Double Coil Spring Washer
The Stainless Steel Curved Lock Washer may seem like a humble component, but its role in mechanical and structural assemblies is anything but minor. Designed with a single curve or slight conical form, this washer acts as a spring that maintains tension between a nut and the surface it fastens. This constant pressure counteracts vibrations, thermal cycling, and other dynamic forces that could otherwise cause connections to fail. Made most commonly from grade 304 or 316 stainless steel, it offers not only reliable locking force but also excellent resistance to rust and chemicals.
Manufacturing these washers involves precision stamping and forming. Coils of stainless steel wire are fed into high-speed presses where they are cut and shaped under tremendous pressure. The curved form is achieved in a single stamping operation. After forming, the washers are often heat-treated to enhance their spring characteristics, ensuring they can repeatedly rebound under load without losing tension. This treatment is what gives the washer its ability to function durably under stress.
What sets the curved lock washer apart is its versatility. It is used across countless industries—from automotive and aerospace to marine and construction—anywhere that secure, corrosion-resistant fastening is essential. Unlike serrated or tooth lock washers, the curved design minimizes surface damage, making it ideal for use on softer materials or finished surfaces. It is a go-to solution for engineers who need a simple, effective, and reusable locking feature that performs consistently in demanding environments.
