lock washer
Split ring hardware
A lock washer is a washer designed to prevent a nut or bolt from loosening due to vibration.
Unlike flat washers, lock washers have a split ring or toothed edge that bites into the surfaces, creating tension that resists rotation: Make sure you use a lock washer on anything that vibrates.
