PRE-LOAD WAVED WASHERS
PRE-LOAD WAVED WASHERS
Pre-load waved washers are used for pre-loading bearings in electric motors. They are installed in the bearing housing to maintain a force on the outer race of the ball bearing, ensuring smooth and quiet operation, which extends the life of the bearings.
The EPL and EMO-X series were developed in collaboration with bearing and electric motor manufacturers to achieve optimal loading characteristics. The EMO-X range offers enhanced performance by applying more pressure on the outer ring of the bearing.
Waved washers are typically made from high carbon spring steel. Other materials, such as stainless steel and beryllium copper, are available upon request.
The document provides detailed specifications for various models of EPL and EMO-X waved washers, including dimensions such as outside diameter (A), inside diameter (B), material thickness (S), free height (C), number of waves, height at specified load (H1), and load at H1. These specifications are crucial for selecting the appropriate washer for specific bearing housings and applications.
The tables list numerous models with their respective dimensions and load capacities. For example, the EPL 1 model suits a 10 mm bearing housing with a load capacity of 15 N at a height of 1.0 mm. The EMO-X models generally provide higher load capacities compared to their EPL counterparts, indicating their suitability for applications requiring greater pressure.
Catalog excerpts
PRE-LOAD WAVED WASHERS A = Outside diameter when flat B = Inside diameter when flat C = Free height of washer ( approx ) S = Material thickness H1 = Height at which specified load achieved ( see table ) For pre-loading bearings in electric motors. The waved washer is installed in the bearing housing and works by maintaining a force on the outer race of the ball bearing, ensuring smooth and quiet running which results in extended life. EPL AND EMO-X PRE-LOAD WAVED WASHER SERIES_ Development in liaison with bearing and electric motor manufacturers on the optimum loading characteristics required. The basic EPL range has been supplemented with the EMO-X range of waved washers since designers have found in some circumstances even better results can be obtained with more pressure on the outer ring of the bearing. All the waved washers are supplied in self colour high carbon spring steel. Other materials can be used on request ( Stainless Steel , Beryllium Copper, etc).
