A washer is a thin plate with a hole in the middle that is often used to distribute a load of a threaded fastener, like a bolt or nut. Washers are commonly disk-shaped, but they can also be square. Usually made of metal or plastic, washers. Hardened steel washers are necessary for high-quality bolted joints to prevent pre-load loss from brinelling when the torque is applied.

Circlips are metal fasteners that create a shoulder that secures an assembly in place when they are inserted into a groove on a shaft, in a housing, or in a bore. A Circlip’s function, particularly in mechanical power transmission assemblies, is to serve as a shoulder to prevent the sub-component or assembly from coming off the shaft or housing bore.
