Split lock washers ARE normal and extremely common, and BTW aren't very good lock washers. They are cheap to make, that is all.

Tabbed safety wire washers would be specific use case washer examples, since they add a safety wire option where there was none as an afterthought.

I've got a good one, but it's on my desk at work. split nut. you rotate it, slide it onto threaded rod, rotate it back, and tighten.

Putting a nut on a rod whose ends you cannot access, and quickly putting a nut on a long rod. It's a light duty part but nicely made, and rod is mostly light duty use anyway.

you dont have to spin it all the way from the end of a rod

You only ever use them when you want to scew something together

Those are almost obligatory when wiring circuit pannels, if used, the part tightened to the plate will never get loose.
Also useful with screws mounted on vehicles or subjected to vibrations when safety nuts can't be used.

As a German, I can confirm. Helical washers, Belleville washers, serrated washers, they all don't work. Therbest way: Nordlock washers.

sometimes they work. i've got a set of 3 on a chipper chute - the top two secure it well, the bottom one vibrates out sometimes

Serrated washers can work if properly made, but it has to be a piece of solid piece of forged and then hardened steel. So 2 cents instead of 1 cent.

Just like Nord Lock clamp force actually has to increase before it comes lose as it goes over the "hump". But instead of that hump being between two washers like in Nord Lock, it's simply between the washer and the dented metal of the bolt and clamping surface.

[Anonymous No.1087108]

>>1086982
i feel like it would just make a ramp for it to easily slide out of the metal or bolt when you tighten it down since it doesnt just instantly get mushed down into them, it has to be rotated into place

[Anonymous No.1087120]

are these even locking washers?
id always used these as a type of spring shim

"sometimes" is not an adjective that should be used in engineering where safety/certainty matters.

Technically they're disc springs, not washers, but you can use them in that fashion.

Split washers don't actually work at all, much less shitty.

They've done several studies to find they do no good at all, but they still get used a lot.

Just use loctite, or some actual locking mechanism.
