Washers are generally used to transfer the force of the bolt head of a screw or nut to a larger surface and to distribute it. One of the most common types of washers is the washer, also called a shim washer. In softer materials washers are designed to prevent the surface from tearing out during tightening and to ensure that the bolt head does not sink into the material. A special form of washer is the shim washer, which is also available in various thicknesses and is used to set a specific distance between two round parts. Lock washers – for example from SCHNORR® – are mainly used in areas where loosening of a screw connection due to vibrations must be avoided. With their conical shape and through the helical toothing the lock washers achieve an optimum frictional connection with the highest form closure at the same time.
Spring rings, also known as snap rings, are used in bolted connections as a locking element to prevent the bolted connection from unintentionally turning loose or coming undone. The rings have a rectangular cross-section that is cut open and slightly deformed at one point. This creates elasticity. The spring rings are inserted between the screw or nut and the contact surface of the component to be clamped, so that the ring is compressed during tightening and exerts pressure (= resistance) on the thread. This stores the clamping force and the ring ensures that the interconnected elements do not come loose again by themselves.
