Detroit Lock Washer, 1/2 in DDE 00103323

Description

The Lock Washerlocks against the bolt or nut during tightening and torquing to prevent loosening due to vibration.

HOW IT WORKS

The washer distributes pressure evenly across the fastener to maintain its integrity and increases its ability to hold the appropriate clamping force.

WHY IT MATTERS

The washer is vital in ensuring proper clamping force under the fastener. Uneven pressure distribution across the fastener or an uneven surface could cause the part to loosen and compromise the clamping force gradually. A loose part could result in damage to vital components and lead to various engine issues.
