A wave washer, also known as a corrugated washer or wave spring washer, is a type of washer that features a wave-like or corrugated shape. This corrugation pattern allows the washer to be compressed or expanded to provide a controlled preload or to compensate for dimensional variations in mechanical assemblies.
Wave washers are often used in applications where precise control of preload or compensation is required. They are commonly found in various mechanical devices, such as fasteners, bearings, gears, and other components that require precise alignment and adjustment.
The corrugation pattern of the wave washer provides several benefits, including:
Controlled Preload: The corrugations allow for even compression of the washer, resulting in a consistent and controlled preload force. This helps maintain proper alignment and reduces wear in mechanical assemblies.
Compensation for Dimensional Variations: Wave washers can absorb slight misalignments or variations in component sizes, reducing the need for precise machining or extensive fitting. This flexibility makes them useful in applications where dimensional tolerances are tight or components may experience dimensional changes over time.
Uniform Force Distribution: The corrugation pattern distributes the preload force evenly across the mating surfaces, reducing the risk of localized stress concentrations and damage to the components.
Wave washers are typically made from metals such as steel or stainless steel, but they can also be made from non-metallic materials depending on the specific application requirements. The corrugation pattern, material, and dimensions of the wave washer are tailored to meet the needs of the particular application.
