Abstract
A washer device is disclosed including two annular components each having a main face arranged to contact the main face of the other component. Each main face has surface regions of different levels along an axis of the component, such as a step and/or a helical ramp. Relative rotation of one component with respect to the other about their common axis alters the effective thickness of the washer device. The washer devicefurther includes at least one radial projection on one of the annular components arranged to engage with a corresponding notch on the other annular component such that the annular components may be oriented in predetermined angular positions corresponding to different predetermined effective thicknesses of the washer device.
