WASHER - LOCK - 5/16 STEEL (Linde LI0500942)

A damaged lock washer can allow a fastener to loosen under vibration, leading to component separation. During assembly, a lock washer's split action creates tension that resists rotational loosening. The part type is a 5/16-inch steel lock washer, serving as an aftermarket replacement for the Linde catalog reference LI0500942. Its plain mechanical function is to bite into the mating surfaces and the fastener head to prevent backing out. A common failure consequence is that a crushed or flattened washer loses its spring tension and no longer secures the joint. This item ships at approximately 0.004 pounds. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
