### What are conventional spring washers?
Conventional spring washers are small disks with a slightly conical shape that are used to provide tension and prevent loosening in fastening applications. They are typically made of hardened steel and are designed to compress under load, creating a spring-like action.
### How do conventional spring washers work?
When a fastener such as a bolt is tightened with a conventional spring washer underneath the nut, the washer is compressed between the nut and the surface being fastened. As the washer compresses, it exerts a force that helps to keep the nut in place and prevent it from loosening over time. This helps to maintain the integrity of the fastened joint and prevent unwanted movement or vibration.
