WASHER - LOCK - 5/16 STEEL (Bobcat BC8EM00080B)

BC8EM00080B: A damaged lock washer can allow a fastener to loosen under vibration, leading to component misalignment or detachment. During assembly, the split action of a 5/16 steel lock washer resists rotational loosening by biting into the mating surfaces. Keeping a lock washer in sound condition helps maintain clamping force in bolted joints. The catalog reference for this aftermarket replacement part is Bobcat BC8EM00080B. It is a steel lock washer, a type of hardware washer that provides a plain mechanical function of preventing fastener back-out. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a missing or worn lock washer may cause the fastener to loosen, resulting in rattling or separation of joined parts.
