For ten years, Lispring has been focusing on the R&D and production of wave springs and spiral retaining rings in the past, present and future, aiming to provide reliable and satisfactory products to global high-tech customers. We welcome your inquiries at any time.
What are the functions and effects of wave springs? What should I pay attention to when purchasing wave springs?
The wave spring has the ability to save space. The wave spring is an elastic element with several peaks and valleys on a thin metal ring. The main functions of the wave spring are:
① Control the movement of machinery, such as valve springs in internal combustion engines and control springs in clutches.
② Absorb vibration and impact energy, such as buffer springs under cars and train cars, vibration-absorbing springs in couplings, etc.
③ Storage and output of energy as a driving force, such as clock springs, springs in firearms, etc.
④ Used as a force-measuring element, such as a force gauge, a spring in a spring scale, etc. The ratio of the load to the deformation of the spring is called the spring stiffness. The greater the stiffness, the harder the spring.
Wave spring is a thin ring-shaped elastic metal element consisting of multiple peaks and valleys, which is referred to as wave spring. A single-layer wave spring is an elastic element with several peaks and valleys on a metal ring, while a multi-layer wave spring appears to be composed of many single-layer wave springs, similar to a cylindrical spiral spring.
Wave spring is widely used in the fields of motor, textile machinery, machinery manufacturing, petrochemical industry, hydraulic equipment, automobile and other industries. It is mainly installed in the bearing chamber or hole that is suitable for the specifications (nominal size). The installation space is small, and it has the special function of reducing noise and vibration. It is suitable for large-stroke and low-load applications.
Compared to ordinary spiral compression springs, it can save at least half of the space when subjected to similar loads; it can reduce the overall volume of the equipment and save costs; it is very suitable for places where axial space is limited; it can meet the requirements of different loads by changing the thickness, width, or making two or three layers of overlapping wave springs.
