What's Gap Wave Spring?

2024-05-21

Gap wave springs, also known as wave washers or corrugated washers with gaps, are a type of spring that is specifically designed with openings or gaps between the corrugated or wavy sections. These gaps allow for increased flexibility and movement compared to traditional wave springs without gaps.

Gap wave springs are typically used in applications where precise load control and axial displacement are important. The gaps allow for a more gradual and controlled compression or expansion, providing a smoother spring rate curve. This makes gap wave springs ideal for applications that require a precise preload force or need to compensate for small changes in length or height.

The corrugated sections of a gap wave spring provide the spring force, while the gaps allow for more flexibility and movement. The number, size, and placement of the gaps can be customized to achieve the desired spring rate and preload characteristics.

Gap wave springs are commonly made from metals such as steel, stainless steel, and brass. They are also available in different materials and coatings to suit various applications, such as high-temperature environments or corrosion-resistant applications.

In summary, gap wave springs are a type of spring with corrugated sections separated by gaps. They provide precise load control and axial displacement, making them suitable for applications requiring a smooth spring rate curve and precise preload force.
