German term or phrase: Vossloh Sperrkantringe

This is a type of Federring (spring washer) made by Vossloh under the code VSK. The picture shows it with a dome appearance, a bulging center and indicates that it has "Sperrkanten". Any ideas what these are? I have "detent edged ring" from Ernst but am rather unsure about this in this context. I would appreciate any evidence/confirmation/ideas. Thankyou!

Explanation:
After looking at the two websites below, I would call them locking washers.
The one in the picture below has a specially prepared face that enhances the retention properties.

there's a good picture of these connecting elements at this web site
