WASHER (Komatsu KO011894)

KO011894: A worn washer can compromise the clamping force of a bolted joint, leading to loosening over time. The Komatsu catalog reference KO011894 identifies this part as an aftermarket replacement washer. This hardware washer type provides a bearing surface for a fastener head or nut. Its plain mechanical function is to distribute the load of the threaded fastener across a wider area. A concrete generic failure consequence is that a missing or crushed washer can allow the fastener to embed into the softer material, reducing preload and risking joint separation. During routine disassembly, a technician may find a washer that has deformed or corroded. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
