Wave Washer Design

Design a custom wave spring.

Wave washer design.

To model a wave spring washer a sweep surface is first employed to describe the wavy surface. Three wave washers provides greater load bearing capacity than a single wave washer but has a smaller deflection range. Our engineers have designed thousands of custom springs across nearly every industry. 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.

Ideal when required spring or deflection range is small and axial space is limited. If the design of the multi turn wave spring results in peripheral. Send us your requirements using one of our helpful engineering tools. Ling analyzing and.

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. Wave spring washer video credit. Wave spring washers are especially useful to apply moderate thrust loads when radial space is limited. Multiple turn wave springs do not cling to the bore because radial jamming affects the specified load at work height.

Ed when radial space is constrained. However factors such as spring index the amount of deflection required and the load determine the number to be used in the ultimate design. Looking for a custom application specific wave spring. And moderate load.
