Product Introduction
Standard Name: Spring Lock Washer (Black Oxide).
Common Names: Black Spring Washer, Black Lock Washer, Blackened Spring Washer.
Product Definition: A single-coil spiral spring washer made of carbon steel or stainless steel, featuring a black oxide surface treatment. Its principle relies on the washer's inherent elastic deformation to generate sustained preload, preventing bolt-nut loosening due to vibration. The black oxide coating simultaneously provides basic rust protection and aesthetic appeal.
Spring Washer Black Key Features
Black Oxide Finish: Provides basic rust prevention, abrasion resistance, and lubrication protection.
The matte black finish reduces light reflection and is suitable for moderately corrosive environments.
Split Spring Design: A ring-shaped split structure generates elastic restoring force upon compression,
providing continuous axial pressure and resisting vibration-induced loosening.
Material and Strength: Commonly made of carbon steel or alloy steel, with high elasticity; conforms to
standards such as DIN 127 and ASME B18.21.1.
Various specifications: Inner diameter M3-M48 (or #4-2"), standard thickness, commonly used for
bolt/nut fitting.
Advantages: Reliable anti-loosening, economical and practical, low-profile appearance, but not suitable
for highly corrosive environments.

Working Principle
Compression Installation: Placed under the nut, the washer is compressed when tightened, and the
split end generates elastic deformation.
Restoring Force Generation: The elastic restoring force provides continuous spring force, maintaining
the clamping force.
Vibration Resistance: Under vibration, the restoring force prevents the nut from rotating backward; the
black oxide layer reduces friction and provides mild corrosion protection.
Load Distribution: Evenly transmits pressure, preventing loosening; the principle involves elastic
deformation and frictional grip.

Product Applications
Mechanical Manufacturing: Secures machine tools, pumps, valves, or equipment components,
resisting vibration loosening.
Automotive Industry: Assembles engines, chassis, or suspensions; the black coating reduces glare.
Construction Engineering: Secures steel structures or pipes, providing reliable anti-loosening.
Electronics and Electrical Appliances: Connects housings or brackets; low reflection suitable for
precision equipment.
Industrial equipment: production lines or heavy machinery, as standard anti-loosening accessories.
