During assembly, a split lockwasher resists rotation by embedding its sharp edges into the mating surfaces. The part type is a split lockwasher, catalog reference Bobcat BC11689.7, offered as an aftermarket replacement. Its plain mechanical function is to exert axial tension between the nut and the joint surface. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a missing or collapsed lockwasher may cause the fastener to back off completely.
