Tony;
My recommendation is to avoid lock washers altogether. Under severe
vibration they simply cannot be trusted.
Loctite is a far better solution; so are self- locking ("prevailing
torque") nuts. Of course, tightening the fastener to the right torque is
half the battle.

Subject: Step or wedge type lock washers?
Anyone have the name of the company who manufactures the step style,
serrated or maybe "wedge" style 2 piece lock washers ? Each of the
steps on each
washer is suppose to face each other and prevent the bolt from
lossening. Hope
I have explained this well enough for you to understand. Thanks for
your
help!!
