[TR] difference between these two washers

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I never considered a Belleville washer or a wavy washer as a locking device.  I consider them an anti-rattle device that, when used with a locking nut (either nylon or other) will allow for expansion/contraction or other compliance axially and will act against float.  EG alternator pivot bolts.
Split washers are good for general purpose applications where no torque spec is provided.  If a torque spec is given do not use a lock washer!  And don't use a hardware store variety flat washer either!

I also found these interesting alternatives:

https://shop4fasteners.co.uk/fasteners/washers/locking-washers/nord-lock-washers/nord-lock-wedge-locking-washers-steel.html

I don't think I've ever seen these before.
