Wave Washer

WAVE WASHER

At Aleef Springs, we provide high-quality wave washers suitable for various applications, ensuring reliable performance and durability.

Our wave washers are engineered with continuous outer edges to eliminate backlash in assemblies. Installed in bearing housings, they maintain force and compensate for axial tolerances up to 1.5mm, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.

Crafted from high carbon spring steel as per the standard and stainless steel grades, our wave washers feature a curvilinear shape and can be manufactured using various raw materials such as tempered steel and copper. The wave designs offset the spring force, acting as a preload between two surfaces.

Spring Rate

The spring rate of our wave washers is determined by the number of waves in the spring design raised to the fourth power. Depending on requirements, the number of waves can vary. The spring rate indicates the washers’ capacity, describing the relationship between applied loads and deflections. Increasing the number of waves enhances its capacity, while increasing thickness boosts load capacity and reduces spring rates.

Types of Wave Washers

✦ Single-turn: Containing single waves, these washers should be separated by shims to create peak-to-peak wave springs.

✦ Multi-turn: Suitable for minimizing axial spaces, these washers offer large deflections and small spring rates.

✦ Nested: Ideal for applications requiring high and precise spring forces.

✦ Operation/Mechanics: Applied loads cause strain in the washers, resulting in deflections described by spring rates.

Applications

✦ Shock Absorbers: Absorb shocks or maintain loads.
✦ Preload Bearings: Assist in bearing preloads for medium power and short deflections.
✦ Compensators for Dimensional Variations: Support operational disparities of machines and prevent unwanted vibrations.
✦ Keeps Machine Parts Together: Prevent loss of friction, securing parts with fasteners and screws.
