Varieties of wave springs

2024-05-20

Wave springs come in a variety of types and shapes, offering flexibility for different applications. Some common varieties of wave springs include:

Rectangular Wave Springs: These springs have a simple rectangular shape and are widely used. They can withstand large loads and have good rebound properties. Rectangular wave springs are often used to reduce vibrations or noise and also for shock mitigation in machinery.

Triangular Wave Springs: Triangular wave springs are softer and more easily deformable compared to rectangular wave springs. They are typically used in applications with small loads, such as for machine adjustment and positioning.

Single Layer Wave Springs: These springs can be divided into open and closed types. They offer precise functionality for short deflections and low to moderate forces. Both types allow for radial expansion or diameter growth within the cavity, enabling the ends to move freely along the circumference during compression.

Parallel Wave Springs (Stacked Wave Springs): Also known as laminated wave springs, they are formed by parallel pre-stacking of a continuous flat wire. This design eliminates the need to stack individual springs for higher loads and also increases the spring stiffness proportionally with the number of coils.

Series Wave Springs (Opposed Wave Springs): Also called facing wave springs, they are created by superimposing layers of material through a series winding process. Depending on whether the ends can make a 360-degree contact, they are classified as closed-end or flat-end opposed wave springs. Structurally, they maintain consistency in wave peaks and troughs.

The choice of wave spring variety depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the load, deflection, space constraints, and other factors.
