Gi Spring Washer

Gi Spring Washer

A GI spring washer, also known as a galvanized iron spring washer, is a type of fastener commonly used in mechanical assemblies to provide a secure and reliable connection. It is made from galvanized iron, a type of steel coated with a layer of zinc for corrosion resistance. The spring washer is designed with a circular shape and a split in the middle, allowing it to act as a spring when compressed. The purpose of the spring washer is to prevent loosening or unscrewing of bolts and nuts due to vibrations or movement. When placed between the nut and the surface being fastened, the spring washer applies constant tension, creating a more secure and stable connection. The galvanized coating on the washer adds an extra layer of protection against rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and corrosive environments. GI spring washers are available in various sizes and thicknesses to accommodate different fastening applications. They are widely used in industries such as automotive, construction, machinery, and more, ensuring reliable and long-lasting connections in diverse mechanical assemblies.
