Varieties of Wave washer

2024-05-21

Wave washers, or corrugated washers, come in a variety of types and designs to suit different application requirements. Here are some common varieties of wave washers:

  1. Standard Wave Washers: Standard wave washers have a sinusoidal corrugation pattern with evenly spaced waves. They are widely used in applications where a consistent preload and uniform force distribution are needed. Standard wave washers are available in various sizes, materials, and thicknesses.

  2. Conical Wave Washers: Conical wave washers have a conical shape with corrugations that taper from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter. They are designed to provide a wedging action that creates a radial preload force. Conical wave washers are often used in bearing applications to preload bearings and reduce radial clearance.

  3. Double-Wave Washers: Double-wave washers have two sets of corrugations on either side of the washer. This design provides a higher preload force and greater flexibility compared to standard wave washers. Double-wave washers are suitable for applications requiring a higher preload or where more compensation for dimensional variations is needed.

  4. Flat-Top Wave Washers: Flat-top wave washers have a flat top surface and corrugated sides. The flat top allows for easier installation and alignment, while the corrugations provide the desired preload and compensation. Flat-top wave washers are commonly used in applications where precise alignment is crucial.

  5. Combination Wave Washers: Combination wave washers consist of multiple washers stacked together to create a custom preload and compensation profile. The different washers can have different corrugation patterns, thicknesses, or materials to achieve the desired performance characteristics. Combination wave washers are often used in complex assemblies or where specific preload and compensation requirements need to be met.

  6. Custom Wave Washers: Custom wave washers are designed and manufactured to meet specific application requirements. They can be customized in terms of corrugation pattern, material, size, thickness, and other parameters. Custom wave washers allow for precise control of preload, compensation, and other performance characteristics.

It's important to note that the variety of wave washers available depends on the specific manufacturer and their product offerings. The above list provides an overview of some common types of wave washers, but there may be other variations available.
