Quality Assurance
High-quality production is ensured through controlled processes, precision wire production, and continuous quality monitoring, using technologies like laser gauges and smart coiling machines.
Single-Turn Wave Springs
Ideal for low to medium forces and limited radial space, featuring a patented flat end design to protect mating components from wear.
Multi-Turn Wave Springs
Suitable for medium to heavy-duty applications, offering high thrust load capacity and replacing coiled or disc springs with precise and even spring forces.
Customer Support
Comprehensive support includes engineering and technology assistance, an online wave spring calculator, and rapid prototyping for product selection and design.
Custom Wave Spring Design
Custom designs are available, tailored to specific application needs, with tools like an online calculator and consultation with application engineers.
Applications
Wave springs are used in applications like steering motors, quick connectors, and mechanical seals, offering advantages over traditional spring elements.
Specifications
Detailed specifications for wave springs include parameters like housing diameter, shaft diameter, clearance, load capacity, work height, free height, number of waves, thickness, section, and spring rate.
Material and Ordering Information
Springs are available in materials like carbon steel and 17-7 PH/C stainless steel, with special alloys upon request. Ordering requires specifying part number, material, and number of turns.
Design Features
Patented optional end designs and configurations for different sizes are highlighted, suitable for high load, high rate, low deflection, static, or low cycling applications.
Technical Data
Tables provide measurements and performance characteristics for each spring model, including load capacities and dimensions.
Operating Conditions
Conditions include maximum temperature and materials the spring will contact.
Types of Wave Springs
Various types include one turn with gap, one turn with flat ends, multiple turns with plain ends, and more.
Materials
Standard materials include Carbon Spring Steel and 17-7PH Stainless, with special grades like AISI 302 Stainless and Inconel X-750 available.

WAVE SPRINGS - the engineering advantage Why settle for ordinary springs when wave springs offer optimal force handling, space savings and performance? Our singe-turn and multi-turn wave springs are made from coiled flat or round wire with waves added to give them a spring effect. In many applications, they offer distinct advantages over traditional springs. Wave springs boast an attractive force-to-work height ratio, typically needing half the work height of coil springs for both axial and radial space savings. They also provide consistent force over a wide range of deflections, transmitting...

MULTI-TURN WAVE SPRINGS Compact and robust, multi-turn wave springs are particularly suitable for medium and heavy duty applications or designs requiring high thrust load capacity. They can accommodate a wide variety of loads, deflections and diameters. Multi-turn wave springs typically replace coiled springs or stacks of disc springs. Customers can choose plain or shim ends. Performance Spotlight PRECISE AND EVEN SPRING FORCES In multi-turn wave springs the spring rate is reduced proportionally to the number of turns and a flat linear characteristic can be generated.
