Ribbed Safety Lock Washers

A ribbed safety lock washer, also known as a ribbed lock washer or toothed lock washer, is a type of lock washer designed to provide enhanced security in fastening applications. It features multiple ribs or teeth on its inner surface. These ribs grip the fastener (such as a bolt or nut) and the surface it contacts, creating a more secure and stable connection. The ribbed design prevents the fastener from loosening due to vibration or external forces, making it especially useful in applications where maintaining a tight connection is critical. Ribbed safety lock washers are commonly used in various industries, including automotive, construction, and machinery, to ensure the reliability and stability of fastened connections. The ribbed teeth of the washer increase friction and create a locking effect that helps prevent self-loosening, contributing to the overall safety and performance of mechanical systems.
