FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indran Standards after the draft
finalized by the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Light h/lechanical Engineering Division Council.
This standard was originally published in 1972. In the present

Steel spring lock washers serve to counteract the loss in inherent tension caused by setting or creep of
a bolt/nut assembly provided that they are sufficiently resilient to increase the overall resilience of the
assembly and that their inherent springiness can compensate for any loss in tension so that the
clamping force required to ensure the reliability of the assembly is maintained.
There may be a relative movement between bolt and nut if the friction between the clamped components is overcome by transverse forces. If this does occur, loosening of the assembly cannot be
prevented by spring lock washers.
Thus, when using these components, it should be checked whether the spring lock washers may usefully
be applied as the elements maintaining the clamping force.
In the preparation
