If you want to get some basic information before buying a wave washer then here’s a brief write up about it.

What’s a wave spring washer?

Wave spring washers are made of different raw materials like- spring steel, stainless steel, copper and have a curvilinear body. The design of a wave spring washer is meant to compensate for the spring force. They do this by deflecting the load and acting like a spring and wave spring washer provides a preload between two surfaces.

The spring rate of the wave spring washer is equal to the number of waves in the spring design raised to the fourth power. Different types of wave washers are manufactured based on the number of waves assigned to them. The number of waves can vary from one, two, three, four, or more.

There are different types of wave spring washers –

• Single-turn wave spring washer.
• Multi-turn wave spring washer.
• Nested wave spring washer.

Purpose and benefits of a wave spring washer

The purpose of a wave washer is to take up the shock or maintain a load.

• Wave washers are designed with moderate deflection range and load capacity. These springs display linear load-deflection features and up to 80% maximum deflection is attainable.
• You can stack wave spring washers to decrease the spring rate and increase the deflection of the collective stack. Single-turn wave washer springs need to be separated by a shim. This helps in creating crest-to-crest wave spring.
• Wave spring washers are the best load-bearing washers available.
• These can be built as shock absorbers and function like compression springs and if you want to save space then these should be your go-to choice.
• Wave washers can assist in the operational discrepancies of different machines and act like compensators for those mechanical devices. As compensators, they prevent unwanted movement and unwanted vibrations that happen due to any misalignment.
• When you use bolts and screws then using a wave spring washer will help in preventing any loss of friction that can result in pieces getting unattached and fall out.
• The use of wave washers improves the functioning of ball bearings, improve their performance, and prolong the life of ball bearing.
• They provide the same spring force as the traditional coils that to in a reduced operating height. Thus, guaranteeing a light-weight assembly and saving your material and production costs.

Where is a wave spring washer used?

Wave washers are commonly used as spacers, cushion springs on a shaft. Wave springs are used in different products and across industries. The wave springs are used in a wide range of products like - in the smartwatches, in the home appliances like coffee maker, an oil well deep under the surface of the earth.

Single-turn wave washers are good to be used for bearing pre-load. They are mostly used in applications with medium forces and short deflection.

A multi-turn wave spring washer minimizes the need for axial space. They are suited for applications with large deflections and a small spring rate.

Nested wave spring washers are a replacement of Belleville washers when a high and accurate force is required.

Common applications of the wave spring washer

• Shock absorbers.
• As compensators.
• With ball bearings.
• As a replacement of disc springs to save costs.
• The nested wave spring washer removes the need to stack springs to accommodate higher loads.

In the end

While selecting the right wave washer you’ll need to be aware of the inside and outside ring diameters. The other two important criteria to take account of are the thickness and overall height of the springs.

Though wave spring washers are available in different materials but steel makes a good and durable choice.
