How lock washers work

The working principle of lock washers is very simple. It consists of two washers. The outside is a radial relief surface, and the inside is a helical tooth surface. When assembling, the inner helical tooth surfaces are opposite each other, and the outer radial raised surface is engaged with the contact surfaces at both ends. When the connecting piece is vibrated and the bolt tends to loosen, only the inner helical tooth surfaces of the two washers are allowed to face each other. Staggered movement will generate lifting tension, so as to achieve 100% locking effect. Its locking principle conforms to military standards.
