A Spring washer is an elastic fastening component designed to provide consistent preload, absorb axial load, and maintain tension in mechanical assemblies. Engineered to reduce wear and stabilize torque, the spring washer ensures long-lasting, reliable performance across rotating, folding, and automatic closing mechanisms.

Available in multiple shapes—including conical spring washer, disk spring washer, and cone washers—this component is widely used in precision assemblies such as hinges, rotating shafts, and bearing spring washer applications.
For enhanced fastening results, spring washers are often used together with spring washers and flat washers to increase stability and distribute load efficiently.


Product Features

  • Elastic Preload Design
    Delivers stable axial force, prevents loosening, and maintains long-term tension.

  • Torque-Generating Structure
    The spring lock washer generates torque within the shaft, absorbing axial load and creating reliable clamp force.

  • Multiple Shapes Available
    Conical, disk-style, and cone-shaped designs meet various industrial requirements.

  • High Fatigue Resistance
    Designed to endure up to millions of compression cycles without deformation.

  • Space-Efficient Form Factor
    Provides strong load capacity even in compact assembly areas.

what is a spring washe?

A spring washer is a type of washer designed to provide elastic force within a fastening system. Unlike flat washers that simply distribute load, a spring washer adds tension, preload, and locking capability to prevent loosening under vibration, shock, or movement.r


Application Scenarios

Spring washers are essential for folding, rotating, twisting, and automatic closing mechanisms, ensuring components remain stable under movement, vibration, and torque.

Typical applications include:

1. Hinges (Door, Cabinet, Industrial Hinges)

  • Provides elastic preload for smooth and controlled folding or opening.

  • Enhances the “quality feel” during movement and improves durability.

2. Rotating Shafts & Spindles

  • Generates torque inside the shaft, absorbing axial load.

  • Reduces wear, extends shaft life, and maintains constant tension.

3. Bearing Assemblies

  • Acts as a bearing spring washer to compensate for axial play.

  • Ensures stable rotation and minimizes vibration.

4. Automatic Closing Mechanisms

  • Used in smart lids, automated doors, foldable devices, and robotic joints.

  • Ensures reliable elastic return force and extends cycle life.

5. Industrial Machinery

  • Motors, gear housings, CNC equipment, and clamping systems.

  • Prevents loosening under vibration and maintains long-term stability.


FAQ

1. What is a spring washer used for?

A spring washer provides elastic preload, absorbs axial load, prevents loosening, and maintains stable tension in mechanical assemblies.

2. What is the difference between spring washers and flat washers?

  • Flat washers distribute load and protect the surface.

  • Spring washers add elasticity and locking force to prevent loosening.
    Often, spring washers and flat washers are used together for enhanced performance.

3. Where is a conical spring washer or disk spring washer typically used?

They are widely used in hinges, rotating shafts, bearings, clamping systems, and vibration-prone equipment.

4. Can you supply custom sizes or special materials?

Yes. With nearly 2,000 standard components and multiple combination options, we can also support customization upon request.

5. What is your minimum order quantity?

There is no rigid MOQ, and with 90 million parts in stock, we support both small-volume and bulk orders.

6. How fast can you ship?

Orders placed today are typically shipped the next day, thanks to our large inventory.
