1 scope and field of application

Spring lock washers covered in this standard are deemed to be spring washers designed for use with’ bolt/nut assemblies
involving fasteners of property class 5.8 or less, as specified in IS0 898 Pan 1. They are intended to counteract the
effect of setting which results in bolt/nut assemblies working loose (see DIN 267 Part 26). They do not effectively
prevent loosening of the assembly under varying radial load and are designed for use with short bolts predominantly
subject to thrust.

I
Tang ends for type A. Washer cross section (enlarged)

The tang ends shall be produced to dimension k without kinking by bending both ends in a zone extending one-tenth
of the circumference from either end.
The illustrations show spring lock washers for screws with right-hand thread, the position of the tang ends being vice
versa for bolts with left-hand thread.

Amendments
The following amendments have been made to the December 1970 edition.
a) The field of application has been modified.
b) A note on the period of validity of this standard has been included; see Explanatory notes.
c) Nominal sizes 2,3,2,6 and 33 have been deleted.

e) The designation now includes a reference to the material to be used.
f) The standard has been editorially revised.

Explanatory notes
By maintaining a sufficiently high preloading in a bolt/nut assembly, spring washers are designed to prevent loosening of
the assembly, which may be caused, for instance, by the effect of setting. The specification of residual spring forces given
in DIN 267 Part 26 has made it possible for the first time to assessthe performance of spring washers.
Spring lock washers complying with DIN 128 are suitable for bolt/nut assemblies involving fasteners of a property class
less than 8.8, whilst spring lock washers complying with the present standard are only to be used for bolts of property
class 5.8 or less.
As there is no real demand for DIN 127 spring lock washers, DIN 128 washers being more suitable for the proposed
application, the ‘responsible committee has decided to withdraw DIN 127 in due course, the proposed transitional period
of five years being intended to give manufacturers and users the opportunity to convert to spring lock washers complying
with DIN 128.
