These are thin metal washers designed with two or more tabs which project from the external diameter.
Made of materials like stainless steel or spring steel for durability.
Applications:
· Used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial assemblies.
· Common in applications requiring secure connections in vibrating or rotating systems.
