Spring washers and plain washers are an important part that helps to keep everything together. But whether it is fixing a bike, making a toy or a school project, it’s good to know what these washers are and how they can help you do a better job.
Though they may look almost identical plain washers and spring washers actually have different uses. That is, spring washers are wavy and spring-like, whereas plain washers are flat and smooth. Where spring washers are used to provide tension and head loosening prevents screws from turning all the way in and plain washers are used to spread the load of a screw.
When deciding between a spring washer or a plain washer, consider the purpose for which you will be using it. If you want to ensure a screw stays tight, spring washer is the answer. If you simply want to support the screw and maintain evenness, a plain washer is the answer. Be sure to verify the size and the material of the washer with your project.

Star washers utilize the tension brought about by their contour to press up against the screw, and prevent it from turning. This avoids the screw from loosing in time. These flat washers help achieve better clamping force distribution and help prevent damage to the surface that are being fastened. The two washers work in concert with screws to assure that things stay together tightly.

Spring washers act like a superhero grasping the screw so tightly it doesn’t move. Plain washers are the screw’s equivalent of the trusty sidekick, because they help support the screw and keep everything together. Together, the two washers play an important role in keeping everything stable and secure, much like you and a friend might in completing a project.

When you install a spring washer, make sure the wavy side is facing the head of the screw for it to work most effectively. Use these materials as spacers to add space, prevent torque, or ensurer even pressure distribution between the head and your screwed surface. To keep your washers in good shape, keep an eye on them for wear and tear, and replace them if they do not hold their shape or effectiveness.
