The noun washer has 3 meanings:
Meaning #1: someone who washes things for a living
Meaning #2: seal consisting of a flat disk placed to prevent leakage
Meaning #3: a home appliance for washing clothes and linens automatically
Synonyms: automatic washer, washing machine
A washer is a thin disk with a hole, usually in the middle. It is normally used to support the load of a threaded fastener. Other uses are as a spacer, spring (belleville, wave washers), wear pad, pre-load indicating device, and locking device.
Washers are usually metal or plastic. High quality capscrews require hardened steel washers to prevent the loss of pre-load after the torque is applied (due to Brinelling). Rubber or fiber gaskets used in taps to stop the flow of water are sometimes referred to colloquially as washers; while they may look similar, however, washers and gaskets are usually made differently and designed for different functions.
Washers are also important for preventing galvanic corrosion, particularly by insulating steel screws from aluminum surfaces.
