A Taper Washer is a type of washer that has a conical shape, meaning it is thicker at the center and gradually tapers to a thinner edge. This design allows the washer to distribute the load evenly and compensate for any misalignment or uneven surfaces in the fastened components. The tapered shape also provides a cushioning effect, which can help absorb shock or vibrations, reducing the risk of loosening. Taper washers are commonly used in applications where a precise, stable connection is required, such as in machinery, automotive, and construction. They are typically made from durable materials like steel, stainless steel, or brass, offering strength and resistance to wear and corrosion.
