Applications and selection
Joints whose design explicitly calls for the selected spring-washer form.
Confirm the washer form, inside and outside dimensions, section and material. For critical retention requirements, review the complete fastening system.
Dimensions & technical reference
DIN 127 (B):1987
Type B split spring washer. h is section thickness and H is free height. A spring washer alone does not establish resistance to loosening under vibration; select locking measures for the joint.

Materials, surface finishes and standards
Materials for this series: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel. Surface finishes: Black Oxide, Zinc Plated, HDG. Compatibility between the grade, finish and operating environment needs to be confirmed.
For titanium, nickel alloy or other non-ferrous requirements, include the exact material grade and drawing. Required mechanical properties, inspection documents and traceability should be stated in the inquiry.
U.S. reference for helical spring-lock washers. The word lock does not guarantee permanent resistance to loosening in every joint. Standards from different systems can vary in dimensions, threads, product scope and test requirements. Confirm the exact designation and edition in the quotation.
Technical reference: ASME washer terminology and scope. Product dimensions and the quoted standard must be confirmed together.
Ordering standard

United States references for a separate inquiry: ASME B18.21.1 (inch). Confirm the exact form, thread system and drawing before quoting.
What to send for a quotation
- Spring Washers or your part number, with the relevant standard and edition.
- Exact dimensions, thread details, quantity and any critical tolerances.
- Material grade, surface finish, inspection requirements and delivery destination.
- For customization, a drawing revision and a description of the mating assembly.
Common questions about spring washers
Does a spring washer guarantee that a joint cannot loosen?
No. The product name alone does not establish performance in a particular joint. The load, vibration, mating surfaces and specified fastening method need to be considered together.
Can I request a size or material outside this listing?
Yes. Send the required dimensions and exact material grade for review. A quotation is needed to confirm feasibility, price and lead time.
