Lock Washer
Bendix

Locking washer helps maintain clamp force by providing a spring like tension that resists loosening from vibration and dynamic loading. The inner diameter dimension of 0.50 in identifies compatibility with standard 1/2 inch bolts and studs used across wheel end and brake assemblies. The washer should be installed with full bearing surface to maximize friction and prevent loosening under repeated cycles. VMRS 053-007-008 categorizes this hardware within the fastener family used in braking and wheel end hardware. Category context 42848 includes a broad range of locking and securing components assembled in heavyduty braking systems, ensuring reliable performance on retrofit and service tasks. Proper torque and seating ensure an optimal fit and long service life in harsh operating environments including heat, salt spray, and dust.
