Washers
Washers are small, usually flat metal components that are most commonly used alongside a nut and bolt.
Washers serve two main purposes. Most washers are used to spread the load applied by the head of the nut or the bolt over a wider area, but some are also used to prevent the fastener in question from becoming loose.
Flat washers are also occasionally used as spacers, they are useful for this purpose if the bolt being used is slightly too long for the application in question.
