Wave Springs

Wave spring are flat-wire compression springs engineered to optimize space in an assembly. The wave springs innovative ‘multiple waves per turn’ design can offer the same spring force as a traditional round wire coil spring, but at 50% of its operating height.

The wave spring’s unique advantage offers engineers the space-saving spring solution they need to meet the demand of designing modern-day, compact technology.

Reduced spring height by up to 50% when used to replace ordinary coil spring Compact design fits tight radial & axial spaces, reduced spring cavity size. Light-weight assembly, save production time and material cost. Accurate & predictable load(s) toleranced at specific working height(s)

Wave spring applies pressure to precisely load the seal face against a mating ring surface, properly sealing fluids. The wave spring operates over a fixed working range and provides an exact force. The wave spring replaces a stamped wavey washer that was unable maintain the necessary spring rate. The exact pressure of the seal face against the sealing surface provided by the wave spring is essential to avoid excessive wear, yet maintain a proper seal.

Functional requirements are necessary for both dynamic and static spring application.

Special performance characteristics are individually built into each spring to satisfy a variety of precise operating conditions.

Typically, a wave spring will occupy an extremely small area for the amount of work it performs. The use of this product is demanded, but not limited to tight axial and radial space constraints.
