Wave Spring Washer Design

Associated spring engineers can develop a print if provided with the space available and part requirements heights loads etc.

Wave spring washer design.

Many design variations have evolved to best serve these basic functions. Design a custom wave spring. A wave washer also known as a spring washer is a fastener that has a single double triple or multiple waved shaped body. Smalley engineers are available for free design consultations.

The solid model of a. Wave spring washer is fully. Wave washers also referred to as wave springs are wavy metal washers designed to provide a compensating spring force or absorb shock when under load. Its irregular shape helps provide pressure to secure the fit and prevent loosening of the bolt or screw.

It is used to provide flexibility cushioning and noise reduction and may help for variations in tolerance. Our engineers have designed thousands of custom springs across nearly every industry. A nested wave spring provides a higher load than a single turn wave spring a stamped wave washer and uses the same radial space as a single turn design. Send us your requirements using one of our helpful engineering tools.

A blueprint or sketch is the best way to specify your custom wave washer. Compared to a single turn design bigger travel deflection is possible. If the design of the multi turn wave spring results in peripheral movement of the turns against each other this could render the spring unstable. Wave spring washer is then.

Thickness along the. Consultation with associated spring engineers early in the design stage will ensure all critical aspects of your spring washer will be met. Looking for a custom application specific wave spring. Multiple turn wave springs do not cling to the bore because radial jamming affects the specified load at work height.
