Lock Washer – Anti-Vibration Fastening Solution for Bolted Joints under Dynamic Loads
A lock washer is a mechanical fastening component placed under a nut or bolt head to resist loosening caused by vibration, thermal cycling, torque, and dynamic loading conditions. Available in multiple configurations including split lock washers (spring tension), toothed lock washers (serrated bite), Belleville disc springs (preload maintenance), and wedge-locking systems (cam-action rotation resistance). Manufactured from spring steel (65Mn, 60Si2Mn), carbon steel, stainless steel (304, 316), and specialized alloys with surface treatments including zinc plating, dacromet, black oxide, and hot dip galvanizing. Typical applications include heavy machinery, automotive chassis and powertrain, aerospace fastening, railway systems, industrial equipment, and structural steel connections. Available in metric sizes M3–M64 and imperial sizes #4–2″, compliant with DIN 127, DIN 6798, DIN 6797, ASME B18.21.1, and GB/T 94 standards

Fasteners are the silent backbone of every mechanical assembly, yet many engineers and buyers oversimplify them as just “screws.” In reality, selecting the wrong type – a bolt instead of a screw, a flat washer instead of a spring washer, or a low-grade stud for a high-vibration joint – can lead to premature failure, safety risks, and unnecessary maintenance costs.This guide breaks down the technical distinctions between screws, bolts, nuts, washers, expansion anchors, and threaded rods. It covers thread engagement principles, preload generation, anti-loosening strategies, and material-grade matching (from carbon steel to alloy steel, Grades 4.8 to 12.9).With over 20 years of fastener supply chain experience and a manufacturing base in Haiyan, Jiaxing – China’s leading fastener production hub – Shanghai Malaxy Co., Ltd. delivers these categories to more than 70 countries. Understanding fastener types isn’t just basic knowledge; it’s the first step toward safer， longer‑lasting.Latest News -
Fastener corrosion resistance is often reduced to a single number: “salt spray test hours.” But why does a bolt that passes 1,000 hours in the lab sometimes rust much sooner in the field? Salt spray testing (ISO 9227) is a fast, repeatable accelerated corrosion method. However, lab conditions cannot replicate real-world factors: temperature swings, humidity cycles, mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and galvanic coupling between dissimilar metals. These variables determine actual service life. Experienced engineers never treat salt spray results as an absolute life guarantee. Instead, they use the test as a comparative quality control tool – to verify batch consistency, compare coatings, and determine pass/fail against defined requirements. True reliability comes from a complete quality management system, not a single test report. Key takeaway: Do not chase the highest hour number. Ask: Which standard? How are results interpreted? Does the coating match your environment? read more.Latest News
