1. Descriptions:

washer, also known as a gasket or spacer, is a thin, flat disc-shaped component typically made of metal, plastic, or rubber. Washers are used to distribute the load, provide a smooth mating surface, and prevent leakage or damage in various mechanical and structural applications.

Washers come in different shapes and sizes, including flat washers, spring washers, and lock washers. Each type of washer serves a specific purpose:

Flat washers: These are the most common type of washer and have a simple flat design. They are used to distribute the load of a fastener, such as a bolt or a nut, over a larger surface area, reducing the pressure on the material being fastened. Flat washers also help to prevent damage to the surface, improve stability, and provide a more even distribution of force.

Spring washers: Also known as Belleville washers, these washers have a conical or curved shape. They are designed to provide spring-like tension, creating a preload or constant force to maintain the tightness of a fastener assembly. Spring washers are commonly used in applications where vibration or dynamic loads are present, as they help to prevent loosening or loss of tension over time.

Lock washers: Lock washers, such as split washers or toothed washers, have serrated or toothed edges. They are used in conjunction with nuts and bolts to create a locking mechanism. The teeth of the lock washer bite into the mating surface, adding resistance to loosening caused by vibration or other external forces.
