Standard washers merely distribute pressure or prevent a nut from backing off a bolt. Starlock Washers serve as standalone retaining clips. When you slide the washer down a plain cylindrical shaft, the angled internal teeth deflect outward. The moment any back-off force is applied, those sharp teeth bite deeply into the surface of the shaft—whether it is made of steel, plastic, or composite material. This creates an immediate, permanent grip.

Key Benefits:

• Zero Threading Required: Saves time by completely removing the need to cut threads or machine snap-ring grooves.
• Vibration Resistant: Provides persistent tension to stop components from rattling loose on moving machinery.
• Instant Assembly: Easily pushes manually or via automated assembly tools onto plastic studs or metal axles.
